To realize the miniaturization potential of solid state devices – diodes, transistors, varactors, etc., – smaller transmission systems than waveguide or coaxial line are required. Also a planar transmission system has advantages of ease of device mounting and the use of standard photolithographic techniques for circuit fabrication.
