摘要: Several new uni-planar coplanar-waveguide-fed slot surface-wave launchers are presented in this paper. The used to efficiently excite the dominant transverse-magnetic mode inside a grounded dielectric slab for possible use power combiners and other applications. Analysis of surface waves optimization thickness needed parameters presented. Next, design using two commercially available software described. were fabricated tested. Good agreement is obtained between numerical experimental results.
