Abstract :
Several novel periodic structures for coplanar waveguides are presented. The proposed structures exhibit low insertion loss in the passband, simple fabrication, and slow-wave characteristics. These structures are applied to realize miniature low-pass filters one-tenth the size of conventional filters, with spurious-free response and deep attenuation levels using only three cells
