Abstract:
A coplanar waveguide filter, comprising:a substrate;a center conductor arrangement formed on said substrate that comprises at least a first conducting member and a second conducting member that are physically separated from one another, said center conductor arrangement being configured to pass AC signals of a given frequency from said first conducting member to said second conducting member;a first signal return conducting strip formed on said substrate adjacent said center conductor arrangement on a first side thereof, said first signal conducting strip including a first conducting member and a second conducting member that are physically separated from one another, yet indirectly electrically coupled so as to permit coupling of AC signals of a given frequency from said first member to said second member; anda second signal return conducting strip formed on said substrate adjacent said center conductor arrangement on a second side thereof that is generally opposite said first signal return conducting strip, said second signal conducting strip including a first conducting member and a second conducting member that are physically separated from one another, yet indirectly electrically coupled so as to permit coupling of AC signals of a given frequency from said first member to said second member.
