Abstract :
Three different transitions for connecting the coplanar waveguide (CPW) to the slotline were designed. The performances of these transitions in back-to-back configuration were simulated and measured over 1-50 GHz. The design of these transitions were carried out with the view to monolithically integrating tapered slot antenna with coplanar waveguide circuits on InP substrate.
