Abstract :
The application of the incremental inductance rule is described for the computation of losses in quasi-TEM coupled transmission lines. It is shown that the well-known formula valid for the single-line case can be extended to the case of normal modes travelling in general coupled structures providing one uses the power-current modal characteristic impedance definition. Numerical results are shown for several coupled lines systems
