Abstract :
A coupled-mode model for dispersion in microstrip is developed which predicts dispersion for a wide range of microstrip configurations (2 ¿ ¿r ¿ 104, 0.025 in ¿ h ¿ 0.125 in and 0.9 ¿ w/h ¿ 6). The expression for the coupling coefficient is derived using qualitative arguments and experimental results, and is convenient for design purposes of microstrip components.
