摘要
A new type of overlay coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure, "inverted overlay CPW (IOCPW)" is developed using micromachining techniques to provide easy means of airbridge connection between the ground planes, as well as to achieve lour losses over wide impedance ranges. Measured IOCPW showed less than 1 dB/cm loss at 50 GHz over a wide impedance range from 25 to 80 Omega. It also offered low effective dielectric constant, and insensitivity to the substrate losses. Wide impedance ranges and simple process steps make IOCPW a promising uniplanar transmission line medium for mm-wave monolithic applications.
