In this study, a short-wavelength coplanar-type transmission line employing periodic ground structure (PGS) was developed for application to miniaturized on-chip passive component on Si Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC). The transmission line employing PGS showed shorter wavelength and lower characteristic impedance than conventional coplanar-type transmission line. The wavelength of the transmission line employing PGS structure was 57 % of the conventional coplanar-type transmission line on Si substrate. Using the theoretical analysis. basic characteristics of the transmission line employing PGS (e.g., bandwidth. loss, impedance, and resonance characteristics) were also investigated in order to evaluate its suitability for application to a development of miniaturized passive on-chip components on silicon RFIC. According to the results. the bandwidth of the transmission line employing PGS was more than 895 GHz as long as T is less than 20${\mu}m$, and the resonance characteristic was observed in 1239 GHz, which indicates that the PPGM structure is a promising candidate for application to a development of miniaturized on-chip passive components on Si RFIC.

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 구조적인 장점 때문에 최근 초고주파 소자에 많이 사용되고 있는 코플러너 웨이브가이드를 사용하여 대역통과 필터를 이동통신 기지국용 모듈형태로 설계.제작하였다. Itoh의 Conductor-Backed Coplanar Waveguide를 이용하였으며. 각 단의 임피던스를 실제로 제작이 가능한 잎피던스 값을 갖도록 파라미터 H를 2.4로 선택하여 계산하였다. 선로의 길이는 $\lambda$/4인 코멘슈레이트 선로를 사용하였으며, 접지면 사이의 간격을 고정하고 신호선의 폭을 구하였다. 설계된 필터는 마이크로스트립 필터보다 적은 공간을 차지하면서 예리한 차단특성과 통과대역 전 대역의 return loss가 15dB인 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

A non-integrated type noise filter on a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) transmission line is demonstrated by using a highly resistive $Co_{41}Fe_{38}Al_{13}O_8$ nanogranular thin film with the dimensions of $4\;mm (\iota)\times4\;mm(\omega)\times0.1\;{\mu}m(t)$. The noise suppression characteristics are evaluated without placing an insulating layer between the CPW line and the magnetic thin film. The insertion loss is very low being less than 0.3 dB and this low value is maintained up to 2 GHz. At a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 3.3 GHz, the power loss is very large and the degree of noise attenuation is measured to be 3 dB. This level of noise attenuation is still small for real applications; however, considering the small magnetic volume used in this work, further improvement is expected by simply increasing the magnetic volume and by integrating the magnetic thin film into the CPW transmission line.

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.

High-speed probe made to test single flux quantum(SFQ) circuits was comprised of semi-rigid coaxial cables and microstrip lines. The impedance was set at 50 $\Omega$to carry high-speed signals without much loss. To do performance test of high-speed probe, we have attempted to fabricate a test chip which has a coplanar waveguide(CPW) structure. Electromagnetic simulation was done to optimize the dimension of CPW so that the CPW structure has an impedance of 50$\Omega$, matching in impedance with the probe. We also used the simulation to investigate the effect of the width of signal line and the gap between signal line and ground plane to the characteristics of CPW structure. We fabricated the CPW structure with a gold film deposited on Si wafer whose resistivity was above $1.5\times$10$_4$$\Omega$.cm. The magnitudes of S／sub 21／ of CPW at 6 ㎓ in simulations and in the actual measurements done with a network analyzer were: -0.1 ㏈ and -0.33 ㏈ (type A),-0.2 ㏈ and -0.48 ㏈ (type B), respectively. Using the test chip, we have successfully tested the performance of high-speed probe made for SFQ circuits. The probe showed the good performance overthe bandwidth of 10 ㎓.

본 연구에서는 소형화된 투명 플렉시블 무선통신소자 구현을 위해, 주기적 구조를 가지는 fishbone 형태의 전송선로를 PES (polyether sulfone) 박막상에 제작하였으며, 이에 관한 RF 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과에 의하면, PES 박막상에 제작된 fishbone 형태의 전송선로는 종래의 코프레너선로에 비해 단파장특성을 보여주었으며, 구체적으로 50 GHz에서 선로파장은 2.23 mm으로, 종래의 코프레너 선로의 56.6%이다. 삽입손실 측정결과에 의하면 fishbone 형태의 전송선로는 50 GHz 까지의 주파수 범위에서 1.31 dB보다 낮은 저손실특성을 보여주었다. 대역폭 추출결과에 의하면, PES 박막상의 fishbone 형태의 전송선로는 통과대역이 608 GHz인 광대역 특성을 보였다. PES 박막상의 fishbone 형태의 전송선로의 특성임피던스는 기존의 주기적 구조와는 달리 매우 적은 주파수 의존성을 나타내었으며, 이로 인해 광대역의 전송선로 및 광대역 분포형 수동소자에 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
