Abstract :
The conventional procedure of computing the resistive losses on coupled microstrip transmission lines underestimates the losses when the strips are modelled as being infinitely thin. More accurate computation shows that the additional power loss on the edges of the finite-thickness strips increases the computed attenuation constants of the odd and even modes by up to a factor of two.
