Abstract :
We describe low loss microstrip transmission line with compact coplanar waveguide transitions for sub-terahertz application. The conducting transmission line is fabricated on the surface of a thin cyclic olefin copolymer dielectric layer. A vector network analyzer (VNA) has been used to obtain the transmission parameters and to validate our simulation results.
