Abstract:
It is shown that both thin-film microstrip lines (TFMSLs) and miniaturized coplanar waveguides (CPWs) offer low-dispersive propagation properties up to 1 THz. At the same time, they are fully compatible with monolithic integration. Radiation and dispersion effects are discussed and basic rules are presented how CPWs should be designed in order to reach the desired sub-mm-wave performance.
