Abstract
Dispersion and impedance characteristics have been obtained for a comp letely shielded edge-coupled conductor-backed coplanar waveguide. It i s demonstrated that dielectric loading can considerably improve these characteristics with respect to mode coupling. On the other hand the u nloaded structure can yield high-directivity couplers. (C) 1996 John W iley & Sons, Inc.
