Abstract :
The frequency-dependent propagation characteristics of lossless and lossy open coupled polygonal conductor transmission lines in a multilayered medium are determined based on a rigorous full-wave analysis. A boundary integral equation technique is used in conjunction with the method of moments. Losses in conductors and layers are included in an exact way without making use of a perturbation approach. Dispersion curves for the complex propagation constants and impedances are presented for a number of relevant examples and, where possible, compared with published data
