Abstract This paper deals with the design and application of nonuniform microstrip transmission lines on anisotropic substrates. A rigorous analysis is based on the use of Hertz vector potentials, moment method and transmission line theory to determine the dispersion characteristics of single and coupled tapered microstrip lines for accurate performance prediction. Results are presented for the main parameters providing the necessary information to design several devices on tapered microstrip, with variation on the strip width and dielectric height, for (M)MIC and antennas applications. A good agreement was observed with the results available in the literature for tapered lines on isotropic substrates.
