     % desired electrical length (degrees)
    elen=90.0;
     % radius of inner conductor
    a=10.0*sf;
     % inner radius of outer conductor
    b=100.0*sf;
     % offset of inner conductor
    c=0*sf;
     % thickness of outer conductor
    t=5.0*sf;
     % resistivity of inner conductor
    rho_a=3.5e-8;
     % resistivity of outer conductor
    rho_b=rho_a;
     % relative permitivitty of dielectric
    er=9.5;
     % dielectric loss tangent
    tand=0.01;
     % 100 MHz operation
    f=100e6;
     % synthesize b
    flag=1;
    [a,b,c,er,len] = ...
