Abstract

Closed‐form formulas for estimating the single‐mode frequency range and propagation constant of open rectangular dielectric waveguides are presented. The formulas are based on curve fitting to normalized results by the popular Marcatili method, suitably modified to reduce error. Excellent agreement with independent experimental data is reported. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
