Abstract

A Möbius Strip device composed by two CPW — coplanar Waveguide placed back- to-back was constructed simulated and characterized. This device also named B2B-CPWMÖS exhibit a behavior like an infinite transmission line with characteristics capable of retaining a large bandwidth frequencies. This work presents some insight into this behavior by EM simulations using simulators with FIT — Finite Integration Technique and measurements in microwave range from MHz to few GHz. This work also shows how to fabricate simple CPW devices and the perspectives for planarization of this 3D structure. Additional EM behavior such as infinite transmission line and retention of a large bandwidth of signal frequencies of B2B-CPWMÖS is also discussed in this paper. This last capability gives rise to real time retention, RTR behavior and originates the RTR devices. The Möbius B2B-CPW device shows a continuous phase change compared to short-circuited classical transmission line. This paper presents also a qualitative analysis of this kind of structure.
