Miniaturization of radio frequency devices is the trend of wireless communication applications in future. The devices of radio frequency have an importance influence on size of the mobile devices. Size constraints of radio frequency components have currently become the bottleneck of restricting miniaturization for devices of radio frequency in military and civilian wireless systems. This project takes planar slow-wave transmission lines as the main research object, and the theoretical and experimental studies are carried out on design for slow-wave transmission lines with quasi-lumped elements form and patch type and their applications on components of radio frequency. The concrete content includes: in view of similarity for the equivalent circuit model between the slow-wave structure and low-pass filter, the construction method of slow-wave structure which can meet the low-pass filtering performance is studied; Conditions of realizing broadband performance for n-section half-wave balun is derived to achieve compact half-wave balun based on slow-wave structure; In combination with both advantages of the slow-wave structures to improve the design of slow-wave transmission lines, design method for better performance of new type transmission line is put forward; Utilizing characteristics of slow-wave structures and double-sided parallel-strip lines, construction method of slow-wave structure with high impedance characteristics is studied, and design approach of balanced components with slow-wave structures is established. This project aims to establish design methodology of planar slow-wave structures and components of radio frequency to lay the theoretical and technical foundation for miniaturized high-performance components of radio frequency.
