X-band microwave integrated circuits using slotline and coplanar waveguide

Abstract

Experimental results are given for propagation in a selection of slotline and coplanar geometries. Examples are given of X-band planar circuits incorporating semiconductors including balanced mixers, and p-i-n-diode switches and attenuators. Finally, an example of how slotline dipoles may be used to produce a simple aerial array is presented.
