A. Deleniv et al., MODEL OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING COUPLED MICROSTRIP LINES ONANISOTROPIC SAPPHIRE SUBSTRATE, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, 8(5), 1998, pp. 375-385
A semiempirical model is proposed for propagation parameters of high-T
-C superconducting (HTS) coupled microstrip lines taking into account
anisotropic dielectric permittivity of sapphire substrate and its temp
erature dependence. The nonhomogeneous current distribution in a cross
-section of the lines is considered for attenuation coefficient calcul
ation. The current density distribution in the coupled strips and in t
he ground plane is found for the even and odd modes. The model is veri
fied by a comparison with full-wave analysis results and experimental
investigations of coupled microstrip line HTS resonators. (C) 1998 Joh
