AI Technical Summary
Existing slow-wave transmission lines with multiple ground conductor layers are cumbersome for integration into printed circuit boards, necessitating a design that reduces the number of layers while maintaining high slow-wave effects.
A slow-wave transmission line configuration with a signal conductor and a ground conductor in a single layer, featuring slits in the ground conductor that intersect with the signal conductor, creating high- and low-impedance sections to slow down high-frequency signals, and utilizing a three-layer structure with an insulator sandwiched between them.
The design increases delay and slows down high-frequency signals effectively, facilitating easy integration onto printed circuit boards by reducing the number of ground conductor layers and allowing for adjustable delay settings through slit shape configurations.
