Abstract

Computer programs are developed in FORTRAN 77 language, given the results in 3-D of the dispersion and of the coupling, as functions of the frequency, conductivity and permittivity for the unilateral fin lines coupler asymmetric in E-plane, on semiconductor substrate. The characteristic impedance and complex propagation constant, for the odd and even-modes excitation are obtained by Transverse Transmission Line method-TTL. These programs are easily used in graduate and undergraduate courses with good efficiency
