Abstract :
In this paper, using a coplanar waveguide employing periodically arrayed ground structure (PAGS) on silicon substrate, highly miniaturized passive components were developed. Concretely, multi-section transformer, 90° hybrid coupler and ring hybrid coupler were highly miniaturized compared with conventional ones. The passive components showed good RF performances over broadband.
