Hybrid-mode analysis of microwave and millimeter-wave structures of realistic configuration

Abstract

In this research work, the rigorous hybrid-mode full-wave analysis is used for an accurate characterization of planar and quasi-planar microwave and millimeter-wave structures, required by the spectacular growth of microwave technology. the method of lines is used as a mathematical tool for solving the associated eigenvalue problems, for modeling the dispersive properties of the aforementioned structures. The frequency dependent characterization of general planar multilayer multiconductor waveguiding structures based on isotropic and/or anisotropic substrates, has been established by using directly field components or suitable hertzian potential functions formulation …
