A broad-band model for a coaxial-to-stripline transition
Abstract
This paper investigates a significant source of error encountered when characterizing a circuit element embedded in a stripline circuit at microwave frequencies. The errors introduced by the coaxial-to-stripline transition are examined and a frequency-independent model is developed for the transition over the band 2-12 GHz. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated experimentally by measuring a known load consisting of a short length of high-impedance line terminated in a short circuit.
