A variety of transmission line structures can be fabricated in planar layers of conductor and dielectric (Figure 9). The stripline and offset stripline are best suited for multilayer structures. The offset stripline, with two orthogonal signal layers between a pair of reference voltage planes, eliminates one intermediate plane and achieves higher characteristic impedance for a given dielectric thickness than do two stripline layers but increases the possibility for crosstalk between layers. 

A closed-form expression for the characteristic impedance of a lossless stripline illustrates its dependence on the geometry and material properties of the interconnection (51)... 

The optimum characteristic impedance is dictated by a combination of factors. Interconnections with low characteristic impedance (<40 fl) cause high power dissipation and delay in driver circuits, increased switching noise, and reduced receiver noise tolerance (35). High characteristic impedance causes increased coupling noise and usually has higher loss. Generally, a characteristic impedance of 50-100 fl is optimal for most systems (35), and a ZQ of 50 fl has become standard for a variety of cables, connectors, and PWBs. For a polyimide dielectric with er = 3.5, a 50-fl stripline can be obtained with b = 50 xm, tv = 25 xm, and t = 5 xm.

Several mathematical relationships have been developed using the vector electric field intensity induced inside a sphere as a function of the incident electric field intensity (8,9). The square of the average internal electric field intensity, lEl 2, was derived and related to the time-average power density incident upon the sample within the stripline. 

As already noted, resistive loss in metal electrode structures and in transition from millimeter wave waveguides to the electrode structure is the greatest problem in achieving 100 GHz and higher electro-optic modulation. Fetterman and co-workers [301] have shown by pulse techniques that the 3-dB bandwidth of polymeric electro-optic materials is typically in the order of 360 GHz for 1 cm of material. Stripline electrode structures have been used to achieve operation to somewhat above 100 GHz. Fetterman and co-workers [282] have recently described a novel finline transition between a millimeter waveguide and such elec-... 

Measurement of device bandwidths in the order of 100 GHz typically requires heterodyne detection and a stripline electrode configuration such as that illustrated in Fig. 31. The response of polymeric electro-optic modulators is typically flat to 100 GHz. Fall off above that frequency (Fig. 32) can be traced to resistive losses in millimeter wave transmission structures and in the metal electrodes.

The most frequently used ferrite device is a three-port circulator in waveguide or stripline configuration, as illustrated in Fig. 9.54. In the waveguide configuration a ferrite cylindrical disc is located symmetrically with respect to the three ports. In the stripline configuration two ferrite discs are placed on each side of the strips. In both cases a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the planes of the discs.
