The definition of microstrip characteristic impedance is considered in conjunction with a rigorous frequency dependent hybrid-mode approach to planar n-ports. Analytical reflections of general validity and numerical results obtained for the nonsymmetrical gap and the microstrip impedance step provide new aspects for a proper choice of the definition.
