DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROFLUIDIC HOUSING EFFECTS ON COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE MICROFLUIDIC DELAY LINE PERFORMANCE

摘要

A fluid and its housing are integrated on a coplanar waveguide circuit surface, realizing a variable delay line. Performance tradeoffs for different fluidic housing shapes are investigated. Simulation and measurement results for two circuits are shown with the housing filled with air or de-ionized water.
