16. Abstract
This paper presents the design and performance of the following CPW microwave distribution networks for linear as well
as circularly polarized microstrip patches and printed dipole arrays: (1) CPW/Microstrip Line feed, (2) CPW/Balanced
Stripline feed, (3) CPW/Slotline feed, (4) GCPW/Balanced coplanar stripline feed, and (5) CPW/Slot coupled feed.
Typical measured radiation patterns are presented, and their relative advantages and disadvantages are compared.
