Abstract :
This paper reports on the performance and model extraction of indium phosphide based W-band (67-110 GHz) coplanar waveguide ratrace couplers, branchline couplers and Wilkinson power dividers. The extracted models consist of lumped and distributed circuit elements available in most microwave CAD packages. The accuracy of these models is verified by comparison with measured S-parameter data from 67 to 110 GHz.
