Abstract :
Cascaded coplanar waveguide discontinuities with transverse dimensions in the order of some micrometers are analyzed by the mode-matching approach based on a full-wave analysis of the electromagnetic field also in the metallic regions. Compared with full-wave analysis assuming perfect conductors and a subsequent loss computation based on the surface impedance model the accuracy is considerably enhanced.<>
