Abstract :
A new type of transmission line called the stitch line, is introduced for possible applications in monolithic microwave integrated circuits. A simple approximate analysis method under the assumption of a quasi-TEM (transverse electromagnetic) propagation is presented which includes the conductor loss. The S-parameters of a two-port circuit constructed with these stitch lines are computed based on the analysis. The results agree well with measured characterizations.<>
