Full-wave analysis of cascaded junction discontinuities of shielded coplanar type transmission line considering the finite metallization thickness effect

A full-wave analysis of cascaded junction discontinuities of coplanar type transmission lines, coplanar waveguides (CPWs), and finlines was implemented by a mode-matching technique. Results of the frequency dependence and the transition-length dependence of the scattering parameters of the CPW-to-finline transition incorporating the finite metallization thickness effect are presented.<
