Abstract

A wideband vertical transition between microstrip and parallel‐strip transmission lines is presented. It performs as an unbalanced‐to‐balanced transformer as well. Its back‐to‐back configuration is fabricated, and the transition characteristics are measured. Measurement results reveal low insertion loss over wide frequency band. The performance of the microstrip transition is compared with those of the vertical transitions involving a coplanar waveguide and a conductor‐backed coplanar waveguide, and comments on the comparison results are provided. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A wideband coplanar to inverted microstrip transition is developed for a low-loss and low-cost inverted line on silicon. The measurements and simulation results are presented. The measured performance of the back-to-back transitions exhibits an insertion loss of less than 0.4 dB and a return loss be
