ABSTRACT: A new design of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to microstrip
transition is presented. Simulation using the high frequency simulator
software (HFSS) shows that a bandwidth of 13 GHz with less than -25 dB
return loss can be achieved. The transition was fabricated and
characterized. Experimentally, the S<sub>11</sub> of two back to back
conductor backed CPW to microstrip transitions on InP substrate is
better than -12 dB up to 14 GHz. For alumina substrate the
S<sub>11</sub> was less than -15 dB up to 25 GHz
