Abstract

The electrical properties of coplanar waveguide MIC/MMIC (microwave integrated circuit/monolithic microwave integrated circuit) structures such as open and short end, gap, step, bend, tee, and capacitor have been studied using an efficient, unified strip/slot three-dimensional electromagnetic simulator. Parasitic slot mode excitation, the effects of air bridges, and equivalent circuit representations are discussed for frequencies to 60 GHz and higher.<>
