The influence of ground-plane width on the ohmic losses of coplanar waveguides with finite lateral ground planes

In this paper, analytical computer-aided design (CAD)-oriented conformal-mapping approximations are presented for the high-frequency attenuation of symmetric and asymmetric coplanar waveguides (ACPWs) with finite-extent lateral ground planes. A discussion is presented on the effect of ground-plane width on the losses, and design criteria are derived.
