Abstract :
A new `circuit-model´ for slotline-to-coplanar waveguide asymmetrical transitions is presented and applied to the design of slotline resonators. The model, based on the separation of coplanar-waveguide (CPW) modes into two different ports, overcomes limitations of previous models because it explains the transition behaviour even if CPW air-bridges are not used
