Abstract :
An MIS coplanar waveguide propagating a slow-wave mode has been characterised in the time domain. The theoretical analysis proposed to obtain the time-domain response of the line gives results in good agreement with measurements. The circuit analysis used is suitable for the determination of spurious propagation effects, inherent to the use of miniature waveguides encountered in MMICs, such as Schottky contact coplanar lines and coupled microstrip lines laid on MIS substrates.
