Hi, Jeff:

For a single medium, dispersion is still possible if the Er is frequency
dependent. However, for most cases, Er has little dependency on the
frequency. That is why we can consider stripline is non-dispersive. For
microstrip circuits, the Ereff is more dependent upon frequency even when Er
is a constant of frequency due to the change of wave incident angle with
frequency. The change of wave incident angle is more related to those
transverse dimensions. In order to form a mode, we much have the so-called
transverse resonance. When the physical transverse dimensions are fixed,
increasing the frequency means that the electrical length of the transverse
directions become larger. The wave incident angle (theta) will change. When
the wave incident angle changes, the propagation constant in along the TLN
is kt=k*sin(theta) is no longer linearly dependent upon the frequency.
k=omega*sqrt(Er*Mur). As you can see, if Er*Mur is frequency independent, k
is linearly dependent upon the frequency and the phase velocity is unchanged
with frequency. However, kt=k*sin(theta) is no longer linearly dependent
upon the frequency because sin(theta) is changing with frequency. Normally,
the frequency dependency on (Er*Mur) is much less than the frequency
dependency upon sin(theta).
