Abstract. A new type of lines - Single – Strip Meander Metal - Dielectric Line have been proposed. In a particular case of meander geometry (conjugate semicircles) the dispersion characteristics of the line have been investigated using Finite Element Method. It is shown that the new line has small losses and large relative slowing.

Keywords: surface wave lines, single-conductor lines.
