Effects of side-wall grooves on transmission characteristics of suspended striplines
Abstract
A simple, efficient analysis of the transmission characteristics of suspended striplines with side-wall grooves is carried out within the TEM-wave approximation. The use of suspended striplines is becoming an important transmission-line technique at millimeter wavelengths because of low attenuation, weak dispersion, and various merits in manufacturing processes. The characteristic impedance and the wavelength reduction factor are particularly examined.
