Abstract :
The paper proposed miniaturized delay lines on layered synthetic substrate materials which support slow-electromagnetic propagation. Under certain conditions such substrates mimic materials with ultra-high electric permittivity. The proposed structure is easily fabricated and a miniaturization factor of two orders of magnitude is reported. Theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement.
