Abstract :
The higher order leaky modes are investigated rigorously for cases with two and three microstrips stacked vertically. These coupled leaky modes move toward a lower frequency region when either the thickness or the dielectric constant of a stratified substrate is increased. These newly found leakage effects could be critical or useful for microwave circuit design.
