Abstract :
The propagation, attenuation characteristics and modal field distribution of a microstrip line for terahertz waves, using the full vectorial finite element method, are presented here. Furthermore, the effect of polysterene coating on the propagation characteristics and its effect in microstrip filter design has also been investigated, using the finite difference time domain approach.
