Abstract

In this Chapter, an analytical review on interated transmission lines for millimeter-wave applications is given. Several tens of lines are analyzed and their characteristics are compared. The results of comparison are in a table showing the transmission lines’ loss, used materials, technologies, etc. Interconnects based on new effects are considered in this Chapter as well. References -252. Figures -47. Pages -85.
