Abstract
This paper presents the recent advances in the design of slow-wave transmission lines based on either capacitive or inductive loading, and their application to the implementation of compact microwave components. It is shown that by loading the line with shunt capacitances or series inductances, a slow-wave effect, characterized by the so-called slow-wave ratio (swr), and related to the enhancement of the effective capacitance or inductance of the line, is achieved. Examples of applications, including compact power splitters and filters with spurious suppression are reported.
