Abstract :
An efficient technique for deriving the space-domain Green´s function due to an arbitrarily oriented current in shielded, multilayer substrate structures is presented. The derived Green´s function is then used to find the dispersion characteristics of single and symmetric coupled line MIS slow-wave structures. These results are compared to published theoretical and experimental data to verify the theory
