Multiconductor Transmission-Line Structures: Modal Analysis Techniques

Introduces multiconductor-line theory and respective modal analysis. Describes the application of a perturbation theory approach for the inference of propagation modes of transmission-line structures. Deals with resonance effects, filtering properties and frequency-dependent propagation characteristics resulting from localized discontinuities occurring in multiconductor lines. Presents an extension of the modal analysis theory in order to cope with critical nondiagonalizable transmission-line configurations.
