Theoretical and Experimental Study of Microstrip Discontinuities in MillimeterWave Integrated Circuits

摘要

This effort has addressed the general problem of developing more accurateanalytical methods to characterize open and shielded microstrip structures as used in millimeter-wave integrated circuits. Emphasis was placed on the open structure since past theoretical treatment of this problem is considered inadequate, particularly with regard to radiation losses. Consideration was also given to the shielded case which is more common in practical circuit design. (rh)
