Abstract
Simple and correct formulas are derived for calculation of an effective isotropic dielectric constant, which characterizes the wave propagation in microstrip lines on anisotropic substrates made of r‐cut sapphire crystals. The r‐plane is extensively used for epitaxial growth of high‐T~c~ superconductor YBa~2~Cu~3~O~7~ films as applied to microwave integrated circuits. In contradistinction to previous models developed for z‐cut sapphire, the nondiagonal dielectric permittivity tensor of r‐cut sapphire is used. The effective dielectric constant of a microstrip line on r‐cut sapphire substrate is found as a function of the strip‐line geometry and the orientation of the crystallographic axes with respect to the symmetry plane of the microstrip line. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract This article presents the derivation of an analytical equation for the equivalent dielectric constant of a microstrip on an anisotropic substrate. Unlike previous methods, this approach does not require the evaluation of Green's function or finite element analysis. The equivalent dielec
