Abstract :
The characteristic impedance of a circular cylindrical dielectric tubular transmission line that is partially covered by thin conducting arc strips on the outer periphery is determined by conformal transformation. The characteristic impedance is determined by first transforming the geometry to an equivalent planar geometry. The variation of the characteristic impedance with the physical parameters is studied, and some numerical results are presented
