  • Abstract
    The possible existence of complex modes in lossless shielded microstrip lines was investigated using the singular integral equation method. The method is used for the analysis of three lossless shielded microstrip line structures with different substrate permittivities. To confirm the validity of the method, results are compared with existing data for propagating modes. Complex modes were found in the moderate and high permittivity structures.
