Microwave transmission lines
• Coaxial cables
• Waveguides
• Striplines
– Microstrip lines
– Parallel strip-lines
– Coplanar strip lines
– Shielded strip lines

Microstrip lines
•Microwave solid-state device can be easily fabricated as a semiconducting chip•Very less volume of the order of 0.008-0.08mm3
•Mode of transmission-quasi TEM, hence the theory of TEM-coupled lines is approximated.

Power losses in Microstrips
• The power carried by a wave travelling in z direction is given by
• The attenuation constant α can be expressed as
• Power dissipation per unit length can be calculated as

Ohmic loss
• Because of the resistance in path• Mainly due to irregularities in conductors• Current density mainly concentrated in a sheet with a thickness equal to skin depth• Current distribution in a microstrip is as in diagram,
• Exact expressions for conducting attenuation constant can not be determined.
• Assuming current distribution is uniform,

Above relation holds good only if w/h<1

Radiation losses
• Depends on substrate’s thickness, its dielectric constant and its geometry.
• Some approximations:– TEM transmission
– Uniform dielectric
– Neglecting TE field component
– Substrate thickness<<free space λ
• The ratio of radiated power to total dissipated power is

Quality factor
• Quality factor of the striplines is very high, but limited by radiation losses of the substrates.
• Qc is related to conductor attenuation constant by,
