β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, a new micromachined interdigital coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure has been developed and its characteristics have been studied as a function of transmission line parameters. In interdigital CPW, the ground conductor is thickened by micromachining techniques which is helpful for reducing the interference between the adjacent center conductors while microwave transmits along it. Within the frequency range from 5 to 20 GHz, the return loss of this structure has two minimal values whose positions change with the structural parameters. The relative bandwidths reached 23.5% and 9.97% at 8.3 and 16.55 GHz while the insertion losses are about 0.33 and 0.5 dB/cm, respectively. The interdigital CPW is useful for designing bandpass filter and phase shifter and minimizing the whole size of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices.

## Abstract In this letter, a new bandpass filter (BPF) with coplanar waveguide using interdigital capacitor and interdigital defected ground structure is proposed. The proposed BPF size is reduced about 33% compared to the BPF using a conventional DGS one. Both filters have lower and higher cutoff
In this paper, a new approach to optimally design a phase shifter consisting of a periodic array of ferroelectric-based tunable planar interdigital capacitors (IDCs) is presented. Spiral slots in the proposed configuration reduces the overall size and improves the performance by 30%.
## Abstract A novel compact and highβisolation tripleβband coplanarβwaveguide bandpass filter designed at 1.30, 2.03, and 2.74 GHz is presented. More than one transmission zero between the three passbands is realized to improve the selectivity of the filter and to achieve a high isolation higher th
