Abstract :
A novel substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL) is presented and experimentally verified in this paper. This structure exhibits unimodal operation over a wide frequency band, is shielded and not dispersive, can be fabricated by using simple, low-cost thin-film process, and can be easily integrated with active devices. Moreover, the same technology results particularly suitable to realize passive components for wideband applications. The design of a Lange coupler with operation bandwidth of 66%, to be used in a multi-port impulse radio for ultra wide band applications, is reported
