An improved broad-band microstrip-to-coplanar-waveguide (CPW) transition is developed on a basis of the frequency-dependence characteristic of an electromagnetic surface-to-surface coupling. A self-calibrated method of moments is extended to model this unbounded two-port discontinuity with the two dissimilar microstrip/CPW feeding lines. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate its frequency response of transmission under varied strip/slot dimensions and further exhibit its attractive ultra-broad-band transmission with low radiation loss. Next, the back-to-back transition circuits with the two different lengths are fabricated and measured to deembed in experiment the S-parameters of two single-transition structures. Predicted and measured results show good agreement with the return loss less than -10dB over the frequency of 3.2-11.2 GHz.
