Abstract :
This paper proposes a practical approach for developing a new class of compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) series/shunt tabs. This approach offers a reduction in length of about 50% by collocating multiple stubs together. The experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate the validity of the design method.
