Zehentner J., Macháč J., Mrkvica J., Tuzi C.: The Inverted Conductor-Backed Slotline - a Challenge to Antenna and Circuit Design, Proceedings of the 33rd European Microwave Conference, Munich, Germany, October 2003, Vol. 1, pp. 73-76.
The characteristics of modes on the conductor-backed slotline, the inverted conductor-backed slotline and on its modification in which the top dielectric layer with higher permittivity has a finite thickness, are presented in this paper. Only the modified inverted conductor-backed slotline is able to transmit the dominant bound mode. The inverted and modified inverted conductor-backed slotlines are real candidates for the design of leaky wave antennas.
