Guided-Wave Characteristics of Periodically
Nonuniform Coupled Microstrip
Lines—Even and Odd Modes
Sheng Sun, Student Member, IEEE, and Lei Zhu, Senior Member, IEEE
Abstract—Even- and odd-mode guided-wave characteristics of
periodically nonuniform coupled microstrip lines (PNCML) are
thoroughly investigated in terms of the two sets of per-unit-length
transmission parameters, i.e., characteristic impedance and phase
constant. By executing the short-open calibration (SOC) procedure
in the method-of-moments platform, the two-port
ma-
trices of the PNCML with finite unit cells are numerically deem-
bedded via two sets of SOC standards so as to explicitly derive
the effective per-unit-length parameters. After our investigation
on the behaviors of numerical convergence, extensive results are
derived to demonstrate the frequency- and periodicity-dependent
per-unit-length parameters of the three types of PNCML against
those of the uniform coupled microstrip line. In final, the
-pa-
rameters of a PNCML circuit are directly simulated via extracted
per-unit-length parameters and they are validated in magnitude
and phase by those from the Momentum simulator.
Index Terms—Even mode, method of moments (MoM), odd
mode, periodically nonuniform coupled microstrip line (PNCML),
per-unit-length transmission parameters, short-open calibration
(SOC).
I. INTRODUCTION
C
OUPLED microstrip lines (CMLs) with two strip conduc-
tors placed parallel in close proximity with each other, as
illustrated in Fig. 1(a), have been extensively studied and uti-
lized as basic circuit elements for directional couplers, bandpass
filters, etc. [1]. Due to the inhomogeneous dielectric medium,
the two dominant modes, i.e., even and odd modes, exist in
this CML with different velocities of propagation. This non-
synchronous feature deteriorates the performances of microstrip
circuits using the uniform CML, such as low directivity in direc-
tional coupler [2] and spurious harmonic passband in a bandpass
filter [3]. Extensive research has been done thus far toward the
equalization of propagating velocities for these two modes at
certain frequencies by forming periodically varied coupled-slot
configurations, e.g., wiggly line [2], [4], zigzag line [5], corru-
gated line [3], [6]. On the other hand, these periodic structures
are strongly expected to miniaturize the overall size of various
microwave circuits by using their slow-wave behavior at the cost
of extra transmission loss with a lowered
factor.
In order to investigate in depth these periodically nonuni-
form coupled microstrip lines (PNCML) for circuit design, it is

commonly recognized as the most critical issue to characterize
the fundamental per-unit-length transmission parameters of the
even and odd modes, i.e., phase constants and characteristic
impedances. Under the static assumption that each periodic
unit is extremely shorter than the wavelength, propagating ve-
locities and characteristic impedances of the coupled striplines
were approximately obtained via cascaded lumped capaci-
tances and inductances [4]. According to Floquet’s theorem,
the two-dimensional (2-D) spectral-domain method of mo-
ments (MoM) was developed without including complicated

three-dimensional (3-D) effects to calculate the only phase
constant of the two modes in PNCMLs [5]. Recently, the
finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method was employed
to obtain the even- and odd-mode phase constants of PNCMLs
[6]. However, to our knowledge, no research to date has been
reported to directly model the characteristic impedances of
these two propagating modes in any PNCML structure with the
3-D full-wave approaches [6]. Following the description in [7],
these impedances are, in fact, referred to as the characteristic
impedances of the forward or backward Bloch waves, and they
are usually defined via
-matrix parameters or terminal
currents/voltages of a single periodical unit cell.
In this paper, the finite-cell PNCML driven by the uniform
CML lines at its two sides is characterized in the full-wave
MoM platform and, further, the effective per-unit-wavelength
transmission parameters of the even and odd modes propagating
along the PNCML are extracted via the short-open calibration
(SOC) technique [8]. In the past, this hybrid technique has been
utilized in accurate characterization of microstrip circuits with
single and multiple propagating modes at each single physical
port [8]–[10]. Moreover, this technique has been very recently
applied to extract the characteristic impedances and propaga-
tion constants of periodically inductive-loaded coplanar wave-
guides (CPWs) [11] and microstrip lines [12], as well as the
even and odd modes of the uniform CPW [13]. This MoM SOC
is extended here to characterize various PNCML structures, as
shown in Fig. 1(b)–(d), targeting the numerical extraction of
both characteristic impedances and phase constants for the two
dominant modes. Extensive results are obtained to demonstrate
the frequency- and periodicity-dependent guided-wave charac-
teristics of these PNCMLs via impedance and phase constant.
To validate our derived per-unit-length parameters,
-parame-
ters of a three-cell PNCML circuit are calculated via a trans-
mission-line theorem and are then compared with those from
the Agilent Momentum simulator

OM–SOC CHARACTERIZATION OF
PNCML
Fig. 2(a) describes the physical layout arranged for
MoM–SOC modeling of a PNCML structure with finite
cells (
), which is driven by the two uniform CML feed lines.
In order to formulate a determinant admittance-type MoM
scheme, the two pairs of delta-gap sources backed by a vertical
electric wall (EW) are simultaneously introduced at the two
strip terminals of the left- and right-hand-side CML feed line,
i.e.,
, at port 1 and , at port 2. As long as the
two feed lines are selected electrically long, only the dominant
even and odd modes can reach to the central PNCML section
under consideration while the other excited higher order modes
at each port quickly attenuate and disappear at the reference
planes
and due to their frequency regions of operation
below cutoff frequencies [8].
Following our previous work in [13] in modeling the even-
and odd-mode guided-wave characteristics of the uniform CPW
[13], the even and odd modes in the uniform CML and PNCML
