Abstract

In the microwave incircuits (MICs) special types of lines are used that, in general, are formed by means of diverse configurations of conducting strips on different substrates. The latter are represented by various types of lines such as microstrip, coplanar, slotlines or transmission lines on suspended or multi-layer substrates as well as coupled lines. For some important types of lines accurate solutions for quasi-static approximations were obtained, whereby the line’s dispersion was determined with the use of a series of numerical methods that for the purpose of computer aided design can be approximated by closed relationships and vice versa the relationships for the synthesis can also be obtained.
