Finite Width Coplanar Waveguide for Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finite width coplanar waveguide (FCPW) transmission line characteristics on semiconductor substrates are presented. It is shown that the ground plane width may be varied to obtain a single mode transmission line without resonances. The variation of the ground plane width has been found to have negligible effect on the loss of the lines. In addition, it is shown that FCPW permits new circuit components useful for MMICs.

This paper presents a novel photonic bandgap (PBG) structure for microwave integrated circuits. This new PBG structure is a two-dimensional square lattice with each element consisting of a metal pad and four connecting branches. Experimental results of a microstrip on a substrate with the PBG ground plane displays a broad stopband, as predicted by finite-difference time-domain simulations. Due ...
