Coplanar Bend C_BEND

Notes :

The FD simulator is not able to take excitation of the coplanar odd mode into consideration. Without utilizing airbridges, there may be a difference between simulation and measurement, which increases with frequency. The high number of airbridges makes this circuit unpracticable for frequencies of more than 20GHz. Although the FD-simulator gives excellent results.

Configuration: Meander line with 12 bends, utilizing 50W3 CPW lines. Total size: X=6414mm, Y=1764mm

Configuration: Meander line with 12 bends, utilizing 50W3 CPW lines. Each bench has one airbridge at the input and output node of the element. That leads to a total number 24 airbridges in the whole circuit. Airbridge parameters : TYPE=1, BW=50, BS=14, BG=8mm Total size: X=6414mm, Y=1764mm

Configuration: Coplanar S-structure with 2 bends and no airbridges, utilizing 50W1 CPW lines. Length of lines at the ports (X-direction): 1mm length of line in Y-direction: 0.8mm
