We analyzed and measured a CPW(coplanar waveguide)-to-microstrip right-angled transition. Asymmetric CPW-to-microstrip transitions show significant resonances by the slot mode generation at the discontinuities. The air-bridge just shifting the resonance frequency can not fundamentally suppress the occurrence of the slot mode. So, we proposed the structure using offset microstrip section to eliminate the resonance. The proposed structure may be useful for the application of multi-layed structure.

A coplanar waveguide(CPW) on a dielectric substrate consists of a center strip conductor with semi-infinite ground planes on either side. This type of waveguide offers several advantages over microstrip line. It facilitates easy shunt as well as series mounting of active and passive devices. It eliminates the need for wraparound and via holes, and it has a low radiation loss. These, as well as several other advantages, make CPW ideally suited for microwave integrated circuit applications. However, very little information is available in the literature on models for CPW discontinuities. This lack of sufficient discontinuity models for CPW has limited the application of CPW in microwave circuit design. We presented for the characteristics of coplanar waveguide open end capacitance and series gap capacitance. Measurements by utilizing the resonance method were made and the experimental data confirmed the validity of theories. The relationships between the CPW capacitances and the physical dimensions were studied.

In this work, the coplanar waveguide is fabricated on a PES (poly[ether sulfone]) substrate for application to a flexible monolithic microwave integrated circuit, and its RF characteristics were thoroughly investigated. The quality factor of the coplanar waveguide on PES is 40.3 at a resonance frequency of 46.7 GHz. A fishbone-type transmission line (FTTL) structure is also fabricated on the PES substrate, and its RF characteristics are investigated. The wavelength of the FTTL on PES is 5.11 mm at 20 GHz, which is 55% of the conventional coplanar waveguide on PES. Using the FTTL, an impedance transformer is fabricated on PES. The size of the impedance transformer is $0.318mm{\times}0.318mm$, which is 69.2% of the size of the transformer fabricated by the conventional coplanar waveguide on PES. The impedance transformer showed return loss values better than -12.9 dB from 5 GHz to 50 GHz and an insertion loss better than -1.13 dB in the same frequency range.

본 논문에서는 CPW (coplanar waveguide) 구조의 볼연속을 3차원 유한차분법으로 해석하고 그 결과를 이용하여 대역통과 필터를 설계하였다. 대역통과 필터에 사용된 CPW 구조의 불연속을 신호선의 끊어짐에 의한 불연속이였고 10 GHz 의 중심주파수와 500MHz 대역을 갖는 광진기가 3개인 대역통과 필터를 설계, 계작하여 비교하였다. CPW 구조의 볼연속 해석결과는 제작된 필터의 측정을 통하여 대역통과 필터 설계이론에 적용할 수 있다고 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a R-band hybrid amplifier with the coplanar waveguide(CPW) and the photonic bandgap(PBG) structure is designed and fabricated. The PBG and the CPW techniques are simultaneously employed in amplifier to improve the power added efficiency(PAE) and the IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) in R-band. In this paper, the PBG structures are optimized to obtain matching network. The output impedance of amplifier and the input impedance of PBG are matched to minimize the return loss. The PAE and the IMD were improved 15% and 4.5dB compared with the conventional amplifier, respectively.

An electrostatic boundary-value problem of a dielectric-wedge-backed, double-slotted conducting wedge is investigated to analyze an asymmetric coplanar waveguide with an infinite dielectric thickness using the Mellin transform and a mode-matching method. Our theoretical solution based on eigenfunction expansion and residue calculus is a rigorous and fast-convergent series form. Numerical computations are conducted to evaluate the potential field, capacitance, and characteristic impedance for various structures of the asymmetric coplanar waveguide. The computed results show good agreement with the simulated results.

The resonator using the shielded coplanar waveguide [S.C.P.W.] bounded by the rectangular waveguide is designed. The resonant frequency is obtained by using the full-wave analysis method. The fringing capacitances of the open-ended center strip in the resonator are obtained from the equivalent circuits by 3 different methods.

By using the point matching method, the coplanar waveguide shielded by the rectangular waveguide has been analyzed. The particular potential solution of C.P.W has been obtained from the boundary condition by using the point matching method. The line capacitance has been obtained from the total charge of the center conductor per length. The effective dielectric constant and the line impedance have been obtained from the line capacitance of C.P.W.

By using the boundary element method, the cahracterization and the circuit modelling of the coplanar waveguide (CPW) discontinuities are performed bvia quasi-static approximation. The capacitive equivalent circuits are obtained by developing the 3-D boundary element method with collocation method. On the triangular patch, the numerical scheme employed the linear basis functions and the analytic solutions of the integrals on the singular points. The capacitive discontinuities of gaps, end-gaps, and open-ends are characterized and the results compared with the conductor backed coplanar waveguides.

In this paper, it is designed mobile communication base station module type bandpass filter which is recently used coplanar waveguide in many way because of structural merit. Using Conductor-Backed Coplanar waveguide of Itoh, it is determined the value of impedance which had capable impedance value with selected H in 2.4 and proved the impedance of each sections. It use the commensurate line of $\lambda$/4, fixed a space of between two ground line and calculated the width of signal line. Because designed filter less than microstrip filter in space, it obtained excellent characteristic of 15dB throughout all passband and sharp cut-off characteristic.
