This article introduces a 20‐μm tall, 75‐μm wide rectangular polyimide core micro coaxial transmission line that can be realized using a simplified fabrication procedure. Measurements of a 4‐bend, meandered micro coaxial line demonstrate an 8% increase in the insertion loss and a 2% variation in the phase compared with a straight line of equivalent length. Cross‐coupling below 30 dB up to 65 GHz has been measured between two micro coaxial lines separated by 175 μm. These properties make the structures as useful building blocks for highly miniaturized and integrated microwave circuitry. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
