On the design of planar microwave components using multilayer structures

The design of planar microwave components using multilayer configurations with potentially arbitrary numbers of dielectric layers and metallization planes is described. Analysis and design are based on a combination of a spectral domain immittance matrix approach and standard CAD methods. To verify the design procedure, three examples-microstrip-slot-line-microstrip transition, a stripline band-pass filter, and a microstrip coupler with lines on different sides of a common ground plane-are investigated theoretically and experimentally. >
