Abstract
A full-wave analysis based on the mode-matching technique is applied to analyze cascaded junction discontinuities of coplanar-type transmission lines, coplanar waveguide (CPW) and finline. Results for a CPW-finline transition, a shielded CPW gap and a symmetric notch incorporating the finite metallization thickness effect are presented. The influence of metallization thickness on the coupling effect exhibited by cascaded junction discontinuities is also presented and discussed.>
