Abstract
This thesis aims to use the three conductor waveguide structures, such as coplanar waveguides (CPW), slotted microstrip and coupled lines, that support even and odd modes in designing novel metamaterial-inspired structures. For this purpose, a trans-former-based circuit model of three conductor transmission line cross-junction was developed, where each port carried even and odd modes. This model enabled the de-sign of CPW-to-slotline transition, novel air-bridge free CPW Wilkinson power di-vider, simple microstrip-to-slotline transitions, microstrip Wilkinson power divider with minimum lateral dimensions, and high-coupling slotted microstrip directional coupler.
