Abstract :
In this paper, various types of transmission lines employing the periodically arrayed ground structure (PAGS) were fabricated on silicon substrate, and their RF characteristics were thoroughly investigated for a decision of optimal structure design. According to the results, with-contact showed wavelength shorter than other types of transmission lines and insertion loss value lower than other types of transmission lines. In addition, with-contact showed effective permittivity and propagation constant value higher than other types of transmission lines. Above results indicate that the with-contact is most appropriate for application to a miniaturization of RF components on silicon substrate.
