We investigate the feasibility of coplanar striplines (CPSs) in conjunction with infrared (IR) detectors. Because of unique attenuation and dispersion issues, the analytical formulas for transmission‐line parameters valid below a few hundred GHz are not applicable at IR. Therefore, we perform numerical modeling to determine these parameters (at 28.3 THz). A comparison of the modeling and the measured response is presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
