Abstract :
The application of an electrooptic sampling technique for the characterization of propagating modes of uniplanar guiding structures on GaAs is described. The characteristics of slotline and even and odd modes of coplanar waveguides (CPW) on semi-insulating GaAs substrate are investigated. The potential distribution over the cross section of each was measured. The guide wavelength for each guide was directly obtained from standing-wave measurements by electrooptic sampling, and the dispersion characteristics of CPW modes and slotline were measured from 15 to 40 GHz.<>
