A novel configuration for a Ka-band V-shaped microstrip meander-line slow-wave structure (SWS) is reported. The SWS is designed to work at a voltage less than 4 kV and provide a wide bandwidth. Coplanar waveguide (CPW) input-output feed lines and a shielding structure are incorporated to enable fast...
