Abstract

In this paper an S-parameter matrix reduction scheme based on the dual symmetric properties of a slotline to CPW transition is elaborated. The method suggested can be used in conjunction with any type of EM field solver. This scheme allows a condensed set of scattering parameters for a symmetrical slotline to coplanar waveguide junction to be efficiently calculated. Based on the junction, a compact microwave band-stop filter is realised and its performance discussed.
