Abstract :
Microslab is a low-loss quasiplanar waveguide intended for use at millimeter-wave frequencies. Symmetrically coupled Microslab lines are analyzed with a mode-matching method to build design charts for the propagation constant and characteristic impedance. Results are provided for GaAs/alumina Microslab implementations
