Most Wi-Fi and Bluetooth designs will appear to work during board bring‐up, even if the antenna feedline has a horrible mis‐match, but then you get to range testing and data integrity ...
Transmission lines such as coplanar waveguides, shielded coplanar waveguides and CPW with ground can be analyzed by their geometry and electrical properties, using experimental and simulated data.
For most design engineers, study of waveguide technology ended when they got their last degree. The only time waveguide comes up is to use it as a last resort in applications such as millimeter-wave ...
