Abstract

In this paper we apply a measurement method designed for asymmetric coupled lines to determine the broadband propagation characteristics of symmetric coupled lines fabricated on a highly conductive silicon substrate. We show that the matrices of frequency-dependent propagation constants and characteristic impedances, as extracted from calibrated four-port S-parameter measurements, agree very well with data predicted by numerical calculations.
