Abstract:
1. A blumlein structure, comprising; a first planar conductive strip; a second planar conductive strip parallel to the first planar conductive strip; a third planar conductive strip parallel to the first and second planar conductive strip, where the second planar conductive strip is positioned between the first and third planar conductive strips; a first dielectric strip; a switch module including a switch formed of a semiconductor material between a first terminal and a second terminal, where the first and second terminals are respectively connected to the first and the second planar conductive strips, where the first dielectric strip and the switch module are joined together to fill the space between the first and second planar conductive strips, and where the first dielectric strip and the switch module are joined to have a boundary having at least a portion formed to be non-orthogonal to the first and second planar conducting strips; and a second dielectric strip that fills the space between the second and third planar conductive strips.
