Recent measurements of the penetration depth and optical conductivity
ist YBa2Cu3Ox (YBGO) single crystals suggest the possibility of an ord
er parameter with d+s-wave symmetry. We present results from calculati
ons of both the anisotropic low temperature penetration depth and the
frequency-dependent conductivity for a layered superconductor with suc
h a pairing symmetry. The system is modelled as a stack of weakly coup
led, two dimensional superconducting planes, and the effect of non-mag
netic impurity scattering in both Born, and unitarity limits is examin
