In this article an effective design approach which realizes high‐frequency MMIC networks in grounded coplanar waveguide (CPWG) transmission media is demonstrated. Topological features which effect electrical characteristics are highlighted and a layout topology which minimizes secondary circuit parameters is illustrated. A method is described which enables these features to be implemented while minimizing discontinuity effects, and a practical application is demonstrated with a 23‐GHz CPWG amplifier design.
