## Abstract The bi‐characteristic‐impedance transmission lines (BCITLs) are generally lossy transmission lines that possess different complex characteristic impedances for waves propagating in forward and reverse directions. Because of complicated equations associated with BCITLs, a graphical tool

Abstract
For microwave signals within the 0.5 to 10.5 GHz range, we present an integrated broadband balun that carries signals from coaxial cable to microstrip to parallel‐plate line. We use this arrangement as the feed line for a broadband double‐sided antenna, and this antenna feed is presented as an application of the integrated balun. In addition, we devise a testing method for the balun, which is demonstrated. Through this testing method, the transmission, reflection, and radiation losses associated with the balun are readily determined. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transmission characteristics of a new type of radial folded waveguide structure, consisting of a bifurcating metal disc with finite thickness between lower and upper radial waveguides and placed unsymmetrically in the folded portion as a general case, are investigated theoretically using a mode matc
