TE/sub 01delta/ mode dielectric resonator coupled with coplanar waveguide

Abstract

This paper newly proposes that coupling between a coplanar waveguide (CPW) and a TE01delta mode DR (dielectric resonator) can be realized for a parallel resonant characteristic as a microstrip line. It shows that different place of the DR on a CPW from that of the DR on a microstrip line is required. FEM simulation (HFSS) results in terms of S-parameters agree well with measurement results. Finally, unloaded Q values of the DR coupled with a CPW are compared with those of the DR coupled with a microstrip line. The comparison demonstrates that the DR coupled with a CPW has slightly higher unloaded Q than that coupled with a microstrip line
