in this article, the linear array (with 20 elements in the horizontal orientation) of microstrip antenna is examined with horizontal polarization. the set includes three microstrip substrates. there is a power network in two lower substrates and microstrip patches in the upper substrate. excitation of patches has been done as coupled through the power network in two lower substrates. using the ...

The transmission line model for the single and coupled microstrip line components implemented in APLAC are presented. A detailed description of the algorithm used to calculate the characteristic impedance and the effective permittivity is given for the single microstrip, the symmetrical and asymmetrical pair of coupled microstrip lines, and the n symmetrical coupled microstrip lines. The effect...

This paper presents an EM analysis of dispersions & discontinuities in a microstrip transmission lines. Dispersion characteristics of a microstrip lines are investigated by the existing models for study of microstrip lines and then compare the results with Software Simulation. Dispersions on microstrip lines with characteristics impedance 50Ω are investigated for the frequency range 1 to 18 GHz...

This paper presents the design analysis of five vertical shielded microstrip lines. The vertical microstrip transition solves the problem of discontinuity between two microstrip lines in different layers of microwave circuit. The main objective of this paper is to compute the capacitance and other relevant parameters like potential distributions of five shielded vertical microstrip line by usin...

This article presents an analysis of metamaterial resonators coupled with microstrip transmission line. The behavior of complementary electric-LC resonators loaded on a microstrip line is analyzed using the equivalent circuit model. In this paper, it is shown that a special type of these resonators show a dual-mode behavior when excited through the electromagnetic field around the microstrip tr...

─ A simple and novel low-loss diplexer with two folded Open-Loop Ring Resonators (OLRRs) that couple three microstrip lines is proposed. The first passband and second passband of the designed diplexer could be easily and accurately shifted to a desired frequency and construct the bandpass filters by adjusting the physical dimensions of the OLRRs. These results suggested that the proposed diplex...

Novel microstrip lowpass filters are developed with reduced size and significantly improved stopband characteristics. After introducing quarter-wavelength open stubs, we get one or two transmission zeros in the stopband. By folding the high impedance microstrip lines, we reduce the size of the filter. Three-pole and five-pole lowpass filters are designed, and their measured frequency responses ...

Microstrip antennas and arrays have been widely used in military and commercial applications because of their ease of fabrication, low profile and low cost. In any microstrip array antenna, design of the feed network is always the most challenging task for which many different methods have been proposed. One method is to distribute the power to individual array elements by a coplanar microstrip...

As the demand for low-cost electronic systems increases, increasing wiring density/reducing printed circuit board (PCB) layer count becomes inevitable. This reality limits the PCB routing layer options of high-speed input/output (I/O) signals, making it more difficult to meet the next-generation product’s performance targets. For example, using densely wired microstrip routing on a PCB helps re...
