     Please note that in this paper the word "linear" indicates a per-unit-length (p.u.l.) quantity, and that "linear" between brackets indicates that "p.u.l." is usually omitted. Also note that, in this paper, the formulas (18) and (19) are derived using an approximate method. We have since found the exact value (published in our article [B53]).

     We have also identified three editorial errors in the paper:

• In the § III, the first two sentences of the paragraph starting with "Fig. 3" should be "Fig. 3 illustrates type 1 coupling. It is similar to the type 1 coupling for coaxial cables.".
• In the § III, the first two sentences of the paragraph starting with "Fig. 4" should be "Fig. 4 illustrates type 2 coupling. It is also similar to the type 2 coupling for coaxial cables.".
• In formula (18) and (19), please replace Z₀ with Z₀^-1.
