Figure 11Evolution of the integral J, (e, x h;) . ds versus the frequency for D = 9.10-3 Sicm
CONCLUSIONWe have studied in this letter the evolution of the complex mode solutions initially obtained for a lossless microstrip line, due to bulk losses introduced in the substrate.Naturally, all the propagation constants of the different modes become complex. In fact, for the conductivity valucs considered (0 i 2 x lo-' S/cm) in this article the two initial complex modes are strongly coupled in the energy sense, and stay much more coupled around the initial complex frequency range than outside so that these two modes cannot exist alone inside this range ( y 2 = -/I2 -inz, /r, and a2 > 0).As the frequency behavior of these two modes are quite similar to the initial complex modes of lossless structures, we have called this pair of modes quasicomplex modes.
