Abstract :
We propose a modeling methodology to determine the optimum dimensions of slots in ground shield metal of slow-wave transmission lines. We induce a mutual inductance between a signal conductor and return ground current paths to express an equivalent inductance of the transmission line. The model´s accuracy is confirmed by characterization of a fabricated transmission line TEG.
