Abstract :
The design of broadband high-performance control components covering the 18-40-GHz frequency range utilizing microstrip technology is described. Design considerations and experimental results are presented for high-speed single-pole, single-throw and single-pole, double-throw switches with 80- and 60-dB isolation, respectively. Design equations and experimental results are presented for a 3-dB quadrature microstrip reentrant coupler and for a nonreflective voltage-controlled attenuator with a dynamic range of 50 dB
