Abstract :
A novel periodic slow-wave structure for CPW is presented. This proposed structure exhibits low insertion loss in the passband, simple fabrication, and is intrinsically matched. The structure is applied to realize a miniature lowpass filter one-tenth the size of conventional filters, with spurious-free response and deep attenuation levels using only three cells.
