Microstrip transmission lines residing on bianisotropic material ridge
s embedded in a multilayered environment are studied using a coupled s
et of integral equations (IE's), The full-wave IE formulation accounts
for general linear media in the ridge region using equivalent polariz
ation currents residing in a multilayered bianisotropic background, Nu
merical results showing basic propagation characteristics are presente
d for a variety of single and coupled ferrite ridge structures, It is
shown that the use of finite width ferrite ridges as either substrates
or superstrates can produce nonreciprocity while confining the ferrit
e material to a small area in the vicinity of the transmission line.
