Rr. Kumar et al., SHIELDED EDGE-COUPLED COPLANAR WAVE-GUIDE STRUCTURES - MODES AND FIELD CONFIGURATIONS, International journal of microwave and millimeter-wave computer-aided engineering, 6(5), 1996, pp. 343-350
In this article we present the dispersion characteristics as well as f
requency-dependent field configuration and characteristic impedance fo
r edge-coupled, shielded, coplanar waveguide structures. The structure
s studied include conductor-backed and suspended configurations, Pheno
mena such as mode conversion and dispersion of the dominant modes are
explained, The characteristic impedance behavior is shown to be direct
ly related to the phenomenon of mode conversion, The analysis uses the
method of lines. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
