An approximate attenuation coefficient due to ohmic loss is derived for both parallel slots and parallel strip lines. The capacitance per unit length, as well as the inductance per unit length of the lines are also obtained. The properties of a transmission line immersed in a lossless dielectric are thus completely determined. The attenuation coefficient due to lossy dielectric may be approximated by similar procedure.
