The transient voltages and currents induced by an external electromagnetic field along a microstrip line interconnecting active and/or passive components are studied by using a distributed-source transmission-line model. The influence of the angle of incidence as well as that of the microstrip geometrical and electrical parameters on the line response is analyzed. The instantaneous voltage and power induced on the loads by various types of pulse excitations are computed. Numerical results are obtained both for dispersive and nondispersive lines. A line feeding a transistor microwave amplifier is also considered. The results show the effects of the multiple reflections of the field inside the dielectric substrate and of the signal at the ends of the line. Indications of how to reduce the coupling between the external field and the considered structure are given.>
