Introduction to MStrip+®
"We do line synthesis - better!"
FACT:
Did you know that a paper by T.G. Bryant & J.A. Weiss, entitled "Parameters of Microstrip Transmission Lines and Coupled Pairs of Microstrip Lines," published in the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques, Vol. MTT-16, December 1968, pp. 1021-1027, is regarded by professionals as a definitive work in the area of microstrip line analysis?
Further, are you aware that, by using the large main-frame Bryant & Weiss MSTRIP analysis program as a reference, (the Bryant & Weiss MSTRIP program did not synthesize lines, it just analyzed them), that articles published by Microwave Software President, James J. Lev, in the May 1984 and January 1985 issues of Microwaves & RF magazine, compared all major line synthesis equation sets? By comparing the outputs of different synthesis routines, he was able to devise a new line synthesis technique that was proven closer to Bryant & Weiss than any of the others?
QUESTION:
Why would you use anything else? We offer enhanced versions of these two well published, and highly accurate microstrip, and coupled microstrip routines, along with equally superb routines for stripline, coupled stripline, and suspended substrate, written by this same author. At $29.50, how could you possibly not want MSTRIP+ ? All prices are in USD, and for a single-user license.

TERMINOLOGY:
The five different transmission line structures currently supported by MStrip+ are shown below. The terminology used is standard in the industry.
Note: The Microstrip (MS) routine includes the effect of dispersion and cover height on line characteristic impedance.
EASE OF USE:
This program is menu driven and very simple to use. The User Manual is clearly written, (you can READ IT on-line), and tutorial in nature. It introduces the User to typical real world examples of line analysis and synthesis. It thoroughly covers single and coupled microstrip, single and coupled stripline, and suspended substrate transmission line structures.
MATERIAL INCLUDED:
The program, and its support files, can be downloaded, by you, direct from our server. The User Manual for MStrip+ is available on-line. You can view it or print it out at your leisure. By having an on-line manual, you're assured that you will get any typo error corrections or tips instantly! Your manual will never be "out of date."

ORDERING INFORMATION:
MStrip+ is priced at $29.50. To place an order, please visit our Order Info page. All prices are in USD, and for a single-user license.
NOTE:
Our software is for use on Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, and XP PC's, where the programs run in a DOS window.
