“…Planar forms of transmission line such as coplanar waveguide (CPW) have become one of the most widely used transmission lines in monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) due to the simplicity of fabrication and its ability to easily integrate series and shunt elements [1][2][3]11]. Rectangular waveguides still play an important role [9,10,[12][13][14], especially in very high frequency systems, where the loss in such a waveguide is significantly less than that in a popular planar transmission lines. For distributed element filters, † Also with School of Computer and Communication Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Perlis, Malaysia CPW is seldom used in the millimeter-wave range due to its large insertion loss.…”
