Abstract :
Membrane supported transmission line is a novel transmission structure introduced in the 1990s. By eliminating dielectric material under the signal line, it effectively reduced the loss. In this paper, the performance of single wafer membrane supported coplanar waveguide is investigated using finite element method. The characteristic impedance, attenuation and scattering parameters are computed.
