On the analysis of quasiplanar transmission lines in circular/elliptical waveguides using the method of lines

The analysis of a class of quasiplanar transmission lines in circular/elliptical waveguides is introduced. Data are presented to characterize wave propagation in microstrip and slotlines in closed and semiopen circular metallic enclosures. The method of lines has been modified for this problem to treat curved and open boundary value problems in this type of transmission line.<>
