 No TEM mode
Cannot phase match across dielectric interface
 Requires advanced analysis techniques
 Exact fields are hybrid modes (Ez and Hz)
For d /0 << 1  dominate mode is quasi-TEM

Note:
It is necessary to assume a nonzero conductor thickness in order to accurately
calculate the conductor attenuation.
The perturbational method predicts an infinite attenuation if a zero thickness is
assumed.
