Abstract
This paper describes the role of transmission lines amenable to integration in VLSI technologies and their important circuit implications. First, an overview of microstrips, coplanar lines, and striplines is given and their performance limitations are quantified. Next, modeling and simulation issues are addressed and the role of transmission lines as circuit elements is discussed. Finally, examples of circuits that benefit from monolithic transmission lines are presented.
