Wideband Microwave Crossover Using Dou- Ble Vertical Microstrip-cpw Interconnect
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the design of a novel ultra-wideband microwave crossover for the use in microstrip circuits. The proposed structure includes a double microstrip-coplanar waveguide (CPW) vertical interconnect in single-layer substrate technology which allows an inclusion of a finite-width coplanar waveguide (CPW) on the top side of the substrate to achieve the required cross-link. The presented design is verified using the full-wave electromagnetic simulator Ansoft HFSS v.13 and experimental tests. The obtained experimental results show that in the frequency band of 3.2–11GHz, the crossover has an isolation of 20 dB accompanied by insertion losses of no more than 1.5 dB.

Properties of CPW in the Sub-mm Wave Range and Its Potential to Radiate
In recent years, new technologies of monolithic integrated circuits have been pushing utilization of the CPW as far as the sub-mm wave range [1-3]. Additional new findings on CPW characteristics and behaviour have in this way been revealed step by step. Our paper contributes to this process. Detailed investigation of possible higher order leaky waves that may occur on the CPW has allowed us to ...
متن کاملA Method for Characterizing Coplanar Waveguide-to- Microstrip Transitions, and Its Application to the Measurement of Microstrip Devices with Coplanar Microprobes
This paper presents a method for characterizing coplanar waveguide-to-microstrip (CPW-M) transitions by using on-wafer coplanar (CPW) microprobes. It is based on extracting the transmission matrix of the CPW-M transition from the measurement of the S parameters of two microstrip transmission lines of different lengths, each of which includes two CPW-M transitions. To verify the proposed method,...
متن کاملCAD Modeling of Coplanar Waveguide Cross-Over Air-Bridge
In this article, a new CAD model for the coplanar waveguide (CPW) cross-over air-bridge is proposed. The model takes into account the CPW open-end capacitance and the vertical strips of the bridge. The section directly underneath the bridge is modeled as a small section of a microstrip line. Our results are in good agreement with the published full-wave results. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

متن کاملDesign Analysis and Performance Comparison of Microstrip and CPW Antenna at UHF Band
Microwave-frequency signals are conveyed by using the Microstrip antennas. It is capable of dual and triple frequency operations and has light weight and low cost. Similarly, larger bandwidth can be achieved by Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) structure. Gain can be enhanced using the Defected Ground Structure (DGS). This paper presents the performance comparison of the design of a microstrip antenna a...

Abstract—A microstrip 180◦ phase shifter obtained by a novel design of Microstrip-to-Coplanar Waveguide (CPW)-to-Microstrip transition is presented. The proposed phase shifter is obtained without changing the layer of the second microstrip line. Via holes are used to transfer the current from the top to the bottom substrate layer and vice versa. The presented phase shifter is operating in a wid...
