CPW – coplanar waveguide External magnetic field Magnetic field lines Electric field lines Simulated current Homogenous current I. Neudecker et al. JMMM 307 (2006) 148– 156
Channelized Coplanar Waveguide The vias are acting as a microwave wall The other determining factor in the high frequency performance of the vias is the spacing between the rows of the vias. The wider the spacing, the lower the cutoff frequency and the closer the spacing the higher the cutoff frequency. http: //mpd. southwestmicrowave. com/pdf/Launch_Report. pdf
