Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanarwaveguides to microwave circuits and antennas
The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to moreconventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in whichall of the conductors are aligned on the same side of thesubstrate. This feature simplifies manufacturing and allows fasterand less expensive characterization using on-wafer techniques.
Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems isan engineer's complete resource, collecting all of the availabledata on the subject. Rainee Simons thoroughly discusses propagationparameters for conventional coplanar waveguides and includesvaluable details such as the derivation of the fundamentalequations, physical explanations, and numerical examples.
Coverage also includes:
* Discontinuities and circuit elements
* Transitions to other transmission media
* Directional couplers, hybrids, and magic T
* Microelectromechanical systems based switches and phaseshifters
* Tunable devices using ferroelectric materials
* Photonic bandgap structures
* Printed circuit antennas
