A New Type of Reduced Size Stub in Asymmetric Coplanar Stripline

This paper introduces a new family of reduced size asymmetric coplanar stripline (ACPS) matching stubs that can be used with standard ACPS or CPW (coplanar waveguide) lines. It is also shown that series or shunt loading of the stubs can reduce their length by more than 50%.
