In this paper compact alignment and position sensors based on coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines loaded with split ring resonators (SRRs) are proposed. The structure consists of a folded CPW loaded with two SRRs tuned at different frequencies to detect both the lack of alignment and the two-dimensional linear displacement magnitude. Two additional resonators (also tuned at different fr...

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 present...

A miniaturized high-gain flexible unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) antenna is presented in this study. The proposed basically comprised of three parts printed patch series, etched on dielectric substrate. And, a cable loaded the bottom coplanar waveguide (CPW) with asymmetric ground feeding structure employed to provide good impedance matching. surface current can achieve same phase for straight-l...

A flexible and compact coplanar waveguide feed (CPW-fed) wearable antenna is introduced for wireless communications applications at the industrial scientific medical (ISM) band. The proposed consists of copper, which used as radiation patch ground planes printed on same side polyimide substrate. overall size 30 mm × 28 0.08 mm, results show that can transmit receive signals in two frequency ban...

Abstract This paper presents wideband split-ring antenna arrays based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) for Ka-band (26.5–40 GHz) applications. The array is fed by a 2.92 mm coaxial connector (K-connector) and the power equally distributed to each resonator. designed coplanar (CPW), SIW, CPW-to-SIW transition, coaxial-to-CPW two-stage SIW divider are described in detail. By using thin Rog...

Since the FCC has announced to allow the unlicensed use of the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band by any potential users, wireless communications community has provided enormous opportunities for driving many wireless systems that can be communicated over short distances. For example, some practical applications are operated at the internationally available unlicensed ISM ...

Coplanar-slotline tees have been used in a number of microwave circuits, although no complete models were available to explain their behavior. In this letter, a new “circuit-model” for a coplanar-slotline tee is presented. The model, based on the separation of coplanar waveguide (CPW) even and odd modes into two different ports, explains the tee’s behavior even if CPW air bridges are not used a...

Design and performance of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF) using Composite Right/Left-handed (CRLH) Zeroth-order Resonators have been studied. The Bloch analysis is applied based on the S parameters to derive the characteristics of the eigenmodes (Bloch modes), from which the right/left-handed frequency band and the zeroth-order resonant frequency are clearly determined. Then, t...
