Circuit Model for Coplanar-Slotline Tees
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coplanar-slotline tees have been used in a number of microwave circuits, although no complete models were available to explain their behavior. In this letter, a new “circuit-model” for a coplanar-slotline tee is presented. The model, based on the separation of coplanar waveguide (CPW) even and odd modes into two different ports, explains the tee’s behavior even if CPW air bridges are not used and slotlines are loaded asymmetrically. The new model has been applied to the analysis of the input reflection coefficient of an offset-fed slotline antenna, showing an excellent agreement between simulation and measurement.

Circuit Model for a Coplanar - Slotline Cross
A new 6-port “circuit-model” for Coplanar-Slotline Crosses is presented. The model is based on the separation of the two fundamental Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) modes (even and odd) into different ports. It generalizes previous models since it explains the Cross’ behavior even if air-bridges are not used and Slotlines are loaded asymmetrically. The new model is applied to the analysis of the -para...
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 کاملNovel Periodic Structures for a Slotline : Patch Loaded Slotline
In this Letter, a dumbbell-shaped patch loaded slotline(PLS) is proposed. Like the conventional defected ground structure(DGS) for a microstrip line, we show that the proposed PLS can provide a wide bandstop characteristic in some frequency bands with only one or small number of unit cells. Also, the equivalent circuit model for a unit section is derived from the analysis of the field distribut...
متن کاملCompact Ultra-Wideband In-Phase Multilayer Power Divider
A novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) in-phase multilayer slotline power divider with high isolation is presented as a complement in slotline power divider field. The new structure proposed in this paper overcomes the shortcoming that power divider based on slotline almost cannot obtain high isolation between output ports. Based on the equivalent-circuit of microstrip-to-slotline transition and ...
متن کاملA Compact Coplanar Waveguide Fed Wide Tapered Slot Ultra-wideband Antenna
A novel coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed wide tapered slot antenna (WTSA) is presented in this paper. A wideband CPW-towide slotline (WSL) transition is employed to feed the antenna. The corrugated edge structure and broken line tapered profile are also applied in this design to achieve wideband performance, as well as maintain compact size. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated. The measured re...
