Abstract
Characteristics of the symmetric coplanar strip line on multi-layer dielectric substrates expressed in analytic formulas have been obtained using conformal mapping. But in most previous presented papers, the metal strip is considered as infinitely thin or PEC while the influence of dielectric substrates are not considered. In this paper, the propagation characteristics of symmetric coplanar strip line with finite conductivity and finite metal strip thickness on multilayer substrates are analyzed by conformal mapping at THz regions. The influences of metal strips and dielectric substrates on the propagation characteristics of CPS are also given. The numerical results are very useful for the development of terahertz devices and terahertz material.
