Slow wave circuit with shaped dielectric substrate
Abstract
The substrate is ladder shaped and is located between a serpentine metallic meander line conductor and a metallic ground plane. Conductive shields are disposed in slot-like openings of the substrate between adjacent parallel transverse segments of the meander line to decrease dispersion and increase the bandwidth to a full octave.
