INTRODUCTION
The ideal field patterns of a open-circuited microstrip line are distorted with
fringing electric fields. The fringing fields and the increase in electrostatic energy as
a result of the extra stored energy is modeled by a capacitive termination CF. The
fringing capacitance at the termination of the line is equivalent to extending line by
A/ as given by the expression

CONCLUSIONS
Calculations of length extension (A?) in plasma medium for various plasma
parameter values (A
.1,.3,.5,.7,.9) in an open microstrip configuration are
obtained using spectral domain technique under quasi static approach [4,5] and by
modifying Hammerstad equation for plasma media. Good agreement is found
between the two results.
