In this paper, a technique is presented for broadbanding the bow-tie slot antenna fed by a CPW(coplanar waveguide). The bandwidth performance of existing bow-tie slot designs is greatly enhanced by optimizing the slot shape and properly adjusting the characteristic impedance of the coplanar waveguide feeding the slot. To connect the 50-ohm input coaxial line to the CPW feed line, a linear taper in the CPW is employed. The designed antenna shows a 3.5 $\~$ 10.0 GHz impedance bandwidth, a 3.5 $\~$ 6.0 GHz pattern bandwidth, and a 5.5 $\~$ 7.5 dBi gain over 3.5 $\~$ 6.0 GHz. Above 6.0 GHz, the antenna radiation pattern appreciably deviates from the typical dipolar pattern.

In this paper, coplanar waveguide fed antennas (CPWFAs) insetting two slits to boundary of the square microstrip patch are presented. These slits play roles in not only lowering a resonant frequency but also fine-tuning for the proposed antenna together with open stub of CPW feed line. The CPWFAs were designed and manufactured using microwave dielectrics (Al,Mg)TaO$_2$ having high dielectric-constant ($\varepsilon$r=20). The return loss and input impedance of the CPWFAs were investigated in terms of the slit length and open stub length of CPW feed line. It is shown that a resonant frequency decreases as the slit length increases.

This paper presents the design method of a Colpitts type oscillator with coplanar waveguide(CPW) structures in the range of Ka-band frequency for transmitter and receiver modules. Series short stubs of CPW patterns provide inductances and capacitances in the range of Ka-band which can be expressed as a CLC-$\pi$ equivalent circuit. The experimentation has employed ro4003 substrates as a CPW substrate which has a dielectric constant of 3.38 and a signal and ground space of 100um. A method of momentum simulation for the CPW patterns has performed with an ADS software tool of Hewlett-Packard Corp. Inductance and capacitance circuits of a Colpitts oscillator was interconnected to a MESFET with CPW bend structures of including the input and output impedance matching circuits of the active transistor. Circuit parameters for impedance matching were determined through the network conversion to the equivalent length of CPW transmission lines by using T-network 1 $\pi$-network conversion circuit. A Colpitts oscillator was fabricated on the substrate of a area of 8.5mm x 17.4mm with a MESFET of Fujitsu FMM5704X and CPW series short stubs. The design suggested the possibility of realizing oscillators on a planar surface for the wireless system of tansmitter and receiver modules in the frequency range of 30GHz

In this paper, we demonstrate that the directivity of the CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) directional coupler with finite-extent backed conductor is enhanced by eliminating center region of backed conductor appropriately. If the backed conductor is removed at center region of couplers, the couplers have two backed conductors. If effective odd mode dielectric constant is decreased at center region, the electrical length for odd mode is changed and phase velocity is same at the directional couplers. Hence, directivity is improved. The eliminated length is solved by an odd and even mode analysis. The designed moderate CPW directional coupler with the proposed compensation structure has excellent directivity and matching characteristic at center frequency in simulation and measurement.

The purpose of this reserch is to establish the new design technology for microwave Coplanar structure. The components in microwave circuit are classified to transmission devices, EM devices, and quasi-TEM devices. After design of these devices, we analyzed these CPWs electromagnetically using FDTD method, and suggested optimum CPW structure. In oder to realize a CPW module up to 30 GHz-100 GHz band, we research on a technology of 3-dimensional microwave CPW, and GaAs substrate with Si layer for ohmic loss. As a result this research, we suppressed the leakage, resonance, coupling, and radiation of CPW EMI, and improved resonance quality of CPW.

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.

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 ㎓.

In this paper, Coplanar Waveguide(CPW) low-pass filter with the spurious-reduced is designed by using Defected Ground Structures(DGS). Two different LPF unit cells and DGS pattern are combined to reduce the spurious. In comparison to a conventional step impedance LPF, the size of proposed LPF as 17.2mm*6.8mm is several times smaller. The simulation and measurements confirm that spurious characteristics is presented less than -30dB($S_{21}$) to three times cut off frequency.

A novel stepped-patch loaded coplanar waveguide(SPLCPW) structure is proposed and applied to the design of a low-pass filter(LPF). The stepped-patch loaded on the opposite side of the CPW plane is shown to provide a shunt-connected series L-C resonance, which is dual to that of a conventional CPW defected ground structure(DGS). As a simple example of the proposed SPLCPW circuit, a 3-pole SPLCPW LPF is designed and good results are obtained.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of distributed analog phase shifter circuit. The phase shifter consist of coplanar waveguide(CPW) lines that are periodically loaded with voltage tunable (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$ thin film interdigital(IDT) capacitors deposited by the pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on (001) MgO single crystals. The phase velocity on these IDT loaded CPW lines is a function of applied bias voltage, thus resulting in analog phase shifting circuits. The measured differential phase shift is 48$^{\circ}$ and the insertion loss decreases from -5㏈ to -3㏈ with increasing bias voltage from 0 to 40 V at 100㎐.
