Abstract
There is a growing interest in using cylindrical transmission line structures in microwave applications. In this paper, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to characterize several three-dimensional cylindrical coplanar waveguide (CCPW) geometries. Specifically, a CCPW series stub and a three-section CCPW filter are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Moreover, CCPW gap is characterized and the FDTD results are compared to those obtained using conformal mapping techniques. Effective absorbing boundary conditions are employed to truncate the FDTD mesh at the end walls and the outer radial boundary.
