An electrodynamic theory of the shielded asymmetric two-slot transmission line

A model of a shielded asymmetric two-slot transmission line is constructed on the basis of the method of almost total inversion of the integral operator. In the case of symmetric location of the slots, the boundary-value problem for the given structure is reduced to two independent systems of integral equations corresponding to different types of natural waves. The results of numerical computation of the dispersion characteristics and distributions of tangential components of the electric field intensity on the slots are given.
