Abstract :
This paper presents a microwave stripline-to-stripline vertical interconnect in Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) Technology. Two circular grooves are separately designed in the stripline lower ground plane and the stripline upper ground plane to reduce the insertion loss and improve the return loss. The mentioned structure has been simulated by HFSS. According to the simulation comparison results, the insertion loss can reduce 0.04 dB on average and the return loss can increase 17.5 dB on average over a band from 0.3 Ghz to 30 Ghz.
