چکیده
Coupling between adjacent Finite Ground Coplanar (FGC) waveguides as a function of the line geometry is presented for the first time. A two Dimension-Finite Difference Time Domain (2D-FDTD) analysis and measurements are used to show that the coupling decreases as the line to line separation and the ground plane width increases. Furthermore, it is shown that for a given spacing between the center lines of two FGC lines, the coupling is lower if the ground plane width is smaller.

Finite Ground Coplanar (FGC) Waveguide:
To solve many of the problems encountered when using conventional coplanar waveguide (CPW) with its semiinfinite ground planes, a new version of coplanar waveguide with electrically narrow ground planes has been developed. This new transmission line which we call Finite Ground Coplanar (FGC) waveguide has several advantages which make it a better transmission line for RF and wireless circuits. ...
متن کاملFinite Ground Coplanar Waveguide (FGC) Low Loss, Low Coupling 90-Degree Crossover Junctions
Microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits and RF distribution networks often require two transmission lines to cross over each other. In this paper, experimental measurements and three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain analysis are used to thoroughly characterize coplanar waveguide (CPW) and finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGC) 90-degree crossover junctions. It is shown ...
متن کاملThermal Effects on the Performance Degradation of On-Chip Coplanar Waveguide-Based Passive Semiconductor Devices
The constitutive parameters of most semiconductors, such as silicon and GaAs, are functions of temperature. Hence, the performance of passive and active device fabricated on silicon or GaAs substrate strongly depends on the operating temperature. Although passive devices are not so sensitive to the variation in temperature as active devices do, it is still necessary to examine the thermal effec...

A general approach is proposed for the accurate and efficient computation of the characteristic parameters of coplanar waveguides having electrodes of complex cross-section on multi-layered, planar or non-planar substrates, as presently considered for high-speed (semiconductor or LiNbO3) electrooptic modulators. The approach is based on the coupling of quasi-TEM finite element method with numer...
متن کاملA SINGLE-CHIP BALANCED SIS MIXER FOR 200-300 GHz
The balanced mixer is fabricated on a 2 x 1 mm quartz substrate which contains an RF quadrature hybrid and two SIS mixers. These components are realized in capacitively-loaded coplanar waveguide, which minimizes stray coupling between adjacent components and coupling to undesired modes in the thick quartz substrate. Signal and LO waveguides are coupled to separate ports of the main substrate vi...
