Abstract
The capability of potentially low cost thick film micros trip is extended in frequency range, augmenting previous work restricted to below 12 GHz. Line characteristics are presented and compared with thin film results. Thick film Q-factors approach 80% of thin film values and medium definition circuits are possible. Test circuits designed and tested include band-pass filters, couplers and resistive components, emphasis being on simple fully printed configurations providing wideband performance.
