Abstract :
A novel edge-coupled coplanar-waveguide (CPW) structure with finite-extent backed conductor is proposed. Based on the full-wave analysis, the effective dielectric constants and characteristic impedances of odd and even CPW modes are characterized, together with the associated coupling coefficients. The electric field distributions of these two modes are also presented.
