Mode conversion at GCPW-to-microstrip-line transitions Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Mode conversion at the transition between grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) and microstrip line is demonstrated. Experimental results show the effect of overmoding in a conductor-backed coplanar waveguide on the transition behavior. A simple micromachining solution is used to cancel the parasitic modes triggered by the transition in the GCPW feed line. This results in an insertion loss of 0.3 dB and a return loss better than -18 dB from 75 to 110 GHz. The transition can prove very useful for millimeter-wave packaging and interconnects.
