  • Abstract
    A wideband and low return loss coplanar strip feed has been achieved using an intermediate microstrip line between coax and coplanar strip lines. The measured and calculated return loss are below 13 dB up to 18 GHz. An extended calculation using TDR data shows the return loss below 10 dB up to 30 GHz. This coplanar strip feed is very practical for feeding wideband electro-optic devices which use coplanar strip as the electrodes
