Abstract
Coplanar waveguides nowadays are successfully used to feed printed antennas . This technique is very interesting for antenna arrays. However, the compl ete system involves the association of several microwave functions, essenti ally power divisions and phase shifts, which are easier to implement in mic rostrip technology than in CPW technology. In older to match these requirem ents, this paper presents some compact and easy to realize microstrip/CPW t ransitions. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
