  • Abstract
    The effects of mitres and air-bridge dimensions and locations on coplanar waveguide (CPW) 90 degrees bends are investigated using the moment method. An experiment was conducted to verify the accuracy of the calculations. These show that the CPW bends are mainly affected by the air-bridge height and location, not the mitering.<>
