Abstract
CAD-oriented analytic formulas are presented for calculating the quasistati c parameters of the conductor-backed asymmetric coplanar waveguide (ACPW), the ACPW with upper shielding, and the conductor-backed ACPW with upper shi elding using conformal mapping techniques. The effect of the presence of th e upper shielding and the conductor-backing on the quasistatic TEM paramete rs is discussed, It is also presented that the expressions derived in this work can be used for calculating the quasistatic parameters of various symm etric and asymmetric CPWs.
