Coplanar waveguides nowadays are successfully used to feed printed antennas. This technique is very interesting for antenna arrays. However, the complete system involves the association of several microwave functions, essentially power divisions and phase shifts, which are easier to implement in microstrip technology than in CPW technology. In order to match these requirements, this paper presents some compact and easy to realize microstrip/CPW transitions. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 23: 131–133, 1999.
