Abstract :
A new transmission medium is presented which combines many of the advantages of microstrip, coplanar waveguide and suspended substrate stripline. This line is easy to fabricate while giving good dispersion and loss properties. Simulated dispersion properties are presented along with some measurements of simple passive circuits. A transition to coaxial connectors is discussed
