Coplanar Waveguide Radial Line Double Stub and Application to Filter Circuits

Coplanar waveguide (CPW) and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) radial line double stub resonators are experimentally characterized with respect to stub radius and sector angle. A simple closed-form design equation, which predicts the resonance radius of the stub, is presented. Use of a double stub resonator as a lowpass filter or as a harmonic suppression filter is demonstrated, and design rules are given.

Coplanar Waveguide Radial Line Stub

A coplanar waveguide radial line stub resonator is experimentally characterized with respect to stub radius, sectoral angle, substrate thickness, and relative dielectric constant. A simple closed-form design equation which predicts the resonance radius of the stub is presented.

Novel Coplanar Waveguide to Slotline Transition on High Resistivity Silicon

Two novel coplanar waveguide (CPW) to slotline transitions have been fabricated and tested on high resistivity silicon. The first transition uses an air bridge to couple RF power from the CPW line to the slotline and has the entire circuit on the top side of the wafer. In the second transition, the grounded CPW line and the slotline are on opposite sides of the wafer and are coupled electromagnetically. The measured average intersection loss and return loss per transition are better than 1.5 and 10 dB, respectively, with a bandwidth greater than 30 percent at C-band frequencies.

New coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide end launcher

A new coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide end launcher is experimentally demonstrated. The end launcher operates over the Ka-band frequencies that are designated for the NASA Advanced Communication Technology Satellite uplink. The measured insertion loss and return loss are better than 0.5 and -10 dB, respectively.
