The transmission probability and phase through a few-electron quantum dot are studied within a resonance theory for the strong coupling regime to the conducting leads. We find that the interaction between overlapping resonances leads to their separation in the complex energy plane and to the decoherent dephasing of the resonant modes. The appearance of the Fano effect is conditioned not only by the induced dephasing generally associated with a phase lapse, but also by a favorable parity of the resonant modes. To identify the contribution of each resonance to the transmission, we propose, in the case of overlapping resonances, a decomposition of the scattering matrix in resonant terms and a background. The resonant contributions are approximated by Fano lines with complex asymmetry parameters and the background by a constant. The conductance and the transmission phase calculated within this approach reproduce the generic features of the experimental data.
