Abstract

This paper reveals potential applications of microstrip meander line slow-wave structures in MM-Wave MMIC circuits. Transmission and reflection coefficients are computed employing dyadic Green functions and Sommerfield integral. Computer analysis has assumed lossless substrate and microstrip transmission lines with strip thickness much less than wavelength. Resistive and surface wave losses are included in the mathematical treatment. Frequency dependent, surface impedance boundaries are evaluated using a quasi-TEM mode computer analysis. This provides on overall effect of the penetration by the electric field and the resultant current distribution within the microstrip lines. Potential applications of these structures include phase shifters, filters, and delay lines.
