Zehentner J., Macháč J., Migliozzi M.: Performance of the slotline in the mm-wave range, XII. International Microwave Conference MIKON-98, Krakov, Poland, May 1998, Proccedings Vol. 2, pp. 481-485.
This paper deals with an investigation of the dispersion characteristics of the slotline in the mm-wave range. Attention is paid to the possible excitation of the surface leaky waves on the slotline. Higher order leaky waves were identified on the slotline made on a higher permittivity substrate. Their influence on the line characteristics is evaluated from the view point of practice.
