            Abstract : 
The dispersion characteristics of conductor backed coplanar waveguide (CBCPW) in a metal enclosure, including higher order modes, are obtained by means of an efficient numerical technique, namely the method of lines (MoL). Knowledge of higher order modes is essential for estimating ´singlemode´ bandwidth and for characterising discontinuities.
