// Change history:
// 8/4/99: removed calculation of attenuation constant (alpha)
// 3/22/99:  changed VERYBIG to MSTRIP_H_VERYBIG, 
//           VERYSMALL to MSTRIP_H_VERYSMALL; added parameter descrip.

//    Lengths are converted to be in microns and frequencies in GHz.
//
//    Input parameters:
//
//    h - substrate thickness
//    w - width of microstrip
//    t1 - conductor thickness (strip)
//    t2 - conductor thickness (ground)
//    esub - dielectric constant of substrate
//    eup - dielectric constant superstrate (usually = 1)
//    freq - frequency
//    Qsub - dielectric quality factor of substrate (1/tan(delta))
//    delta is defined as the phase angle of the complex
//    dielectric constant of the substrate
//    Qup - dielectric quality factor of superstrate
//
//
//    Output parameters:
//
//    Z0 - characteristic impedance
//    epeff - effective dielectric constant
//         (wavelength = free space wavelength / sqrt(epeff)
//    tandel - effective loss tangent of line. Defined so that
//         beta = (2*Pi/wavelength)*(1 + i*tandel)
//         where beta is the complex propagation factor; i = sqrt(-1).
//    g2 - geometrical factor for loss calculations; = 2/w for wide lines
//
