| Abstract: | Mitered coplanar waveguide (CPW) bends are cascaded to form meandered CPW lines. Test samples are fabricated and characterised. In this article a compact, CAD-oriented semi-empirical equivalent circuit model is presented. The validity of the model is verified by comparing it with the experimental and simulation results. It is demonstrated that a meandered CPW with mitered bends has higher characteristic impedance and lesser loss when compared to straight CPWs. |
