Abstract :
A new `circuit model´ for converting between even and odd modes in asymmetric series impedances in the ground plane of a coplanar waveguide is presented. The model is based on the separation of modes into two input and two output ports. In contrast to previous work, it enables a quantitative analysis of the energy exchange between modes to be obtained
