Title: Slow-wave propagation on monolithic microwave integrated circuits with layered and non-layered structures

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5757343

Various MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) planar waveguides have shown possible existence of a slow-wave propagation. In many practical applications of these slow-wave circuits, the semiconductor devices have nonuniform material properties that may affect the slow-wave propagation. In the first part of the dissertation, the effects of the nonuniform material properties are studied by a finite-element method. In addition, the transient pulse excitations of these slow-wave circuits also have great theoretical and practical interests. In the second part, the time-domain analysis of a slow-wave coplanar waveguide is presented.
