A symmetrical microstrip gap can be modeled by two open ends with capacitive series coupling between the two ends. The equivalent circuit also produces two parallel capacitances at both ends.This script calculates the capacitances

 

Microstrip gap

 

Microstrip gap

 

(DISCLAIMER) The numerical error of the capacitive admittances for this calculation is less than 0.1mS for the following limits:

0.1 ≤ W1/H ≤ 3
0.1 ≤ W2/H ≤ 3
1≤ W2/W1≤3
6≤ε≤13
0.2≤S/H ≤∞
0.2 Ghz≤f≤18 Ghz


W1 is width of microstrip 1 and W2 is width of microstrip 2. S is the gap between them. ε is the permittivity of the substrate.
