Abstract :
Spectral Domain Technique has been applied to analyze multiconductor, asymmetric slow-wave microstrip lines. It is observed that slow-wave factor of odd mode of coupled microstrip lines may be equal to or larger than that of even mode under appropriate conditions. This presents the flexibility to realize a large variety of passive components, such as directional coupler, phase shifter, power combiner/divider.
