The propagation characteristics of a new coupled fin line structure, with
asymetrical, rectangular, top and bottom housings, is evaluated by using the modal
analysis technique. The boundary Green's function of the structure, relating the surface
currents to the electric fields is derived by using this technique. The propagation
characteristics, i.e. propagation constant and impedances, of the structure are determined
by implementing Galerkin's procedure and the results are presented for a wide range of
possible structure dimensions. A CAD compatible, quasistatic analysis based on
conformal mapping of the rectangular housing structure and known coplanar waveguide
results is also presented. The results of the quasistatic analysis are shown to be in good
agreement with the fullwave simulation at low frequencies. / Graduation date: 1993
