Abstract This research presents a rigorous analysis of the effect of finite metallization thickness and finite conductivity on the propagation characteristics of shielded microstrip and shielded CP\V. It also presents an accurate full wave mode-matching approach to analyze tile dispersion characteristics of millimeterwave and microwave transmission lines with finite conductivity and finite metallization thickness. The method is used to determine the propagation constant, losses and field distribution or the fundamental mode in shielded microstrip and shielded CPW with finite metallization thickness and finite metallization conductivity. The method is general and can be applied to miniature MIC’s and Jv11v1IC’s including lossy semiconductor substrate. The accuracy of the solution depends primarily on the correct and complete description of eigenfunction expansions in each of the uniform and nonuniform layer regions. The method includes metallic loss by a self-consistent description without any skin effect approximation. The analysis holds for arbitrarily high losses and also metallization dimensions smaller than the skin depth. The propagation constant for shielded microstrip and shielded CPW is calculated for different structure dimensions and for different substrate materials. The field distribution is also traced for different substrate materials |
