            Abstract : 
The letter presents a method for the determination of even and odd mode impedances of inhomogeneous coupled cylindrical striplines using the conformal mapping technique. Closed-form expressions for characteristic impedances are obtained. The analysis can also be extended to coupled cylindrical microstrip lines and warped coupled strip and microstrip lines.
