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...

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...

The microstrip antennas have been one of the most innovative fields of antenna techniques for the last three decades. Microstrip antennas have several advantages such as lightweight, smallvolume, and that they can be made conformal to the host surface. In addition, these antennas are manufactured using printed-circuit technology, so that mass production can be achieved at a low cost. Microstrip...

In this paper, multi-channel capacitive sensor arrays based on microstrip band-stop filters are studied. The sensor arrays can be used to detect the proximity of objects at different positions and directions. Each capacitive sensing structure in the array is connected to an inductive element to form resonance at different frequencies. The resonances are designed to be isolated in the frequency ...
