Planar transmission lines and coupled structures
Of particular interest in this work are the so-called planar transmission lines. Planar structures are extensions of the parallel plate transmission line, which is considered a planar transmission line. The term planar simply refers to the fact that in these transmission lines, the characteristics of the structure can be determined by the dimensions in a plane-the cross section of the structure. The term is often narrowed to those structures that can be conveniently produced by lithographic methods with particular applications to microwave integrated circuits although, in this work, we will use planar structures that are relatively large and their fabrication is entirely different.
