A Low Loss and Short-wavelength Transmission Line Employing Inverted Periodically Arrayed Capacitive Devices and Its Application to Miniaturized Passive Components on MMIC  

Yun, Young (한국해양대학교 전파공학과)
Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel transmission line employing inverted PACD (Periodically Arrayed Capacitive Devices) for application to a development of miniaturized passive components on MMIC. The novel microstrip line employing Inverted PACD structure showed a loss much lower than conventional microstrip line. Using the inverted PACD structure, we fabricated a miniaturized impedance transformer on MMIC. the size of the impedance transformer was 0.012 $mm^2$, which is only 1.7% of conventional one. The impedance transformer showed good RF performances in a frequency range of 2.25~6.5 GHz.
