Abstract

Slow-Wave coplanar waveguide (SCPW) has its unique characteristics as a useful passive device. This paper present the full characterization and modeling for millimeter wave SCPW. The model is obtained in a simple extraction procedure with no additional tuning or optimization.Verified in the frequency domain up to 60 GHz, this equivalent circuit model is able to predict characteristic impedance, effective permittivity and quality factor very well. The model can be directly implemented in SPICE-like simulators.
