A tangential vector finite-element formulation is implemented to deal
with arbitrary cross section and metallic strip shape. Classical plana
r transmission lines as well as nonconventional cross-section waveguid
es such as the new microshield line are treated. Effects on propagatio
n characteristics for these lines are studied when the metallization s
hape is approximated by a lossy trapezoid area. (C) 1994 John Wiley &
