Uniplanar MMICs and their applications

Coplanar Waveguide for Microwave Integrated Circuits: A Review

“…A branch line coupler or balanced multiplier fabricated using this technique show better performance than the conventional ones [51]. The modules as complex as a 26 GHz receiver front end is also designed [52] and fabricated using this technique. The requirements for the Downloaded by [University of California, San Diego] at 10:17 24 June 2016 264 IETE TECHNICAL REVIEW, Vol 10, No.…”

Conductor loss on transmission lines in monolithic microwave and millimeter‐wave integrated circuits

“…This line geometry is used in coplanar MMICs as a supplement to the CPW, which enables one to realize both symmetric and antisymmetric circuit configurations. As a practical example [3], Figure 12 shows such a slot-line structure together with a CPW to slot-line transition.…”

Miniaturization of a broadband power divider for X-band application based on GaAs technology

“…Thus, we focus on the study of the miniaturization method of the broadband power divider in this letter. Different with other works which were mostly done with microstrips, coplanar transmission lines of coplanar waveguides (CPW) and cascaded two sections of coupled asymmetrical coplanar striplines (ACPS) are utilized in this work, for they can achieve much less dispersion and perform better at higher frequency . To compensate the capacitance and inductance loss caused by size‐reduction, metal‐insulator‐metal (MIM) capacitors are inserted at each ends of the ACPSs while characteristic impedances are increased.…”
