    Understanding Coplanar Stripline Antenna

    Hello all. I don't have much training in transmission lines so my question is pretty general. I've been tasked with creating a coplanar antenna on top of a small silicon cantilever which will just be held in air, thus the need for a single plane design. The goal is to produce a large magnetic...

    Reflection coefficient and a transmission line taper

    So I guess the real issue is how long the taper is compared to the wavelength you are interested in? So for low frequency we don't really think about characteristic impedance (lab setting) because the wavelength is so much longer than anything we work with. This might be a difficult question to...

    Reflection coefficient and a transmission line taper

    Hello all. I am working on designing a transmission line which involves the use of a taper. One of the issues I am struggling to understand conceptually is this reflection coefficient often shown for your standard exponential, Klopfenstein, hyperbolic tapers like the one attached to this post...

    Microstrip Transmission Line

    Hello all I appreciate your assistance. In terms of the flatness, I have not given it much thought. I understand depending on the tapering mechanism the gain or loss will vary over the span I am interested in. In terms of what kind of signal we are looking to feed through. At the moment our rf...

    Microstrip Transmission Line

    So initially I was told to design the line to work in the 3GHz range, which is what I did there with the taper. Now I've been asked to change it to work in the 100-1000MHz range, which is where my problem is. As you said, this taper is too short for this frequency range. To make it work it would...

    Microstrip Transmission Line

    Thank you for the response. I knew the length of the taper would be an issue, unfortunately I don't think I could make it much longer. I have to fit the line between two poles of a large electromagnet and it is pretty close to touching the poles as is. Is there another way I might be able to...

    Microstrip Transmission Line

    Hello, Let me preface this with saying I have no formal training in microwave transmission lines. Everything I know, which is not much, is self taught. I was tasked with creating a microstripline for the purposes of carrying a field in the 500 - 2000MHz range. Our goal is to use the lateral...
