Constitutive parameter effects in some multilayered bianisotropic microstrip lines: Clarification of magnetic groups of symmetry

Abstract

The generalised exponential matrix technique (GEMT) in the spectral domain and Galerkin's approach are used to examine the constitutive parameter effects in various microstrip line structures with multilayered bianisotropic superstrate-substrates (BSS). A parametric study is performed to show the hybrid effects of cross-coupling in different magnetic groups of symmetry (MGS) in BSS on the effective dielectric constant of guided modes for enclosed single, edge-coupled, broadside-coupled and bilateral edge-coupled geometries.
