Abstract

The mixed-potential integral equation is combined with the discrete complex-images technique to analyze the complete spectrum of multilayered printed transmission lines. A relevant contribution of the present two-dimensional approach is its ability to study both the bound and leaky regimes in a very simple, systematic, and efficient way. Since the analysis is carried out in the spatial domain, this method makes it possible to analyze the leakage phenomenon for structures with nonzero-thickness conductors. Efficient quasi-analytical techniques are employed to solve the integral equation.
