Abstract :
A method is presented for determining the characteristics of unsymmetrical broadside-coupled strips imbedded in an inhomogeneous dielectric medium enclosed by a rectangular shield. The characteristics of the coupled lines have been obtained in terms of even- and odd-mode velocities, coupling coefficients, and even- and odd-mode admittances. Numerical results are given for a variety of configurations.
