Abstract :
Two kinds of multilayer low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) delay lines (approximate 8lambdag and 1lambdag at 9.5GHz), using 3D meander stripline, are proposed in this paper. Measurement results in the whole band (9~10GHz) show that, besides low VSWR, low time dispersion can be achieved as les plusmn0.002ns for 8lambdag delay line and les plusmn0.001ns for 1lambdag delay line. This technology can also obtain more compact size than other technologies, as 5mmtimes7mmtimes2.37mm for 8lambdag delay line and 2mmtimes3mmtimes2.37mm for 1lambdag delay line.
