Abstract

A new full-wave analysis of coplanar waveguides is presented. The modified mapping technique of C.P. Wen (1969) is used to map the original infinite domain into a finite image domain and also to account for the singularity of fields near the conductor edges. The finite thickness of the dielectric substrate is considered together with the assumptions of lossless guides and negligible metallization thickness. The current distributions on the center signal strip as well as the tangential electric fields over the slot along the air-dielectric interface are examined. Numerical results for the frequency-dependent effective dielectric constants and characteristic impedances of coplanar waveguides are presented. Particular attention is given to the electric field distributions over the air-dielectric interface of slots and the current distributions of the signal strip.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
