  In this study the signal propagation in multistrip Resistive Plate Chambers
is formulated exactly in the framework of the multiconductor transmission line
theory in the frequency domain, allowing losses to be incorporated. For the
case of weak coupling and low losses a first-order expansion yields simple,
fully analytical, expressions that include reflections. In this approximation
the modal spectrum can be calculated analytically as well, allowing to estimate
easily the strength of the modal dispersion phenomenon.
