Quasicomplex modes of boxed coplanar lines on lossy dielectric substrate for millimeter‐wave applications

In this Letter, we propose to show the existence of quasicomplex modes of boxed coplanar lines laid on a lossy dielectric substrate for millimeter‐wave applications, using the method of lines with non‐equidistant discretization. These quasicomplex modes are defined by studying the behavior of the two complex solutions of the propagation problem of the classical lossless boxed coplanar line versus the losses of dielectric substrate. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
