The metal-dielectric strip waveguide analysis

Abstract

The metal-dielectric strip waveguide (MDSW) is widely used in the short-wave part of the millimetric and submillimetric range of wavelengths. It possesses a constructive simplicity, polarizing stability and rather small losses. A theoretical analysis is presented. The amplitude distributions of any field composition were found with the registration of losses in the dielectric. The dispersion equations for MDSW have also been determined.
