ABSTRACT

An illustration of two coupled* µstrips is provided in Figure 5.1.1 in a cross-sectional view. In general, more than two µstrips** can be e.m. coupled, but we will only study the case indicated in Figure 5.1.1, i.e., where only two µstrip are e.m. coupled. In addition, we will assume that in the coupling region, µstrips widths, their spacing, and substrate height will remain constant, i.e., we will assume uniform coupling.***

In this chapter we will consider that coupling between µstrip is desired. Crosstalk between coupled µstrips has been investigated by the researchers Y. Qian and E. Yamashita.1
