Abstract

In coplanar-waveguide technology, there is a possibility of locating shunt and series matching stubs inside the center conductor of the transmission line. This principle can be used to reduce of the dimensions of microwave components such as monolithic microwave integrated circuits. This paper discusses the concept and presents the design of a reduced-size Wilkinson divider based on the realization of short-circuit series stubs in the signal conductor of an asymmetric coplanar stripline
