Abstract
AbstractThis article is devoted to the analysis of multiconductor transmission lines (MTLs), a type of structure that is encountered in many applications concerning RF and microwave engineering. Our aim is to provide the reader with a self‐contained presentation of the subject; we start by establishing the time‐domain equations of multiconductor transmission‐line systems and then progress step by step to the final objective of determining the frequency‐domain solution to those equations. Matrix techniques are made intense‐use in order to permit a compact analysis of the problem. Solutions to MTL equations are presented in two different useful formats. At first we consider a solution in the form of a superposition of natural modes of propagation; later, a relationship between voltages and currents at the MTL structure ports is established by employing a transmission matrix. The analysis presented in this article is not limited to the simple case of uniform line structures, as it also encompasses the important problem of nonuniform MTLs.
