Inhomogeneous dielectric
No TEM mode
Cannot phase match across dielectric interface
Requires advanced analysis techniques Exact fields are hybrid modes (Ez and Hz)
For d /0 << 1 dominate mode is quasi-TEM

Microstrip (cont.)Note:
It is necessary to assume a nonzero conductor thickness in order to accurately calculate the conductor attenuation.
The perturbational method predicts an infinite attenuation if a zero thickness is assumed.
