A microstrip filter is a type of passive electronic filter that utilizes microstrip technology to achieve frequency selectivity in RF and microwave circuits. It consists of a thin conductive strip patterned on a dielectric substrate, with ground planes on both sides. These filters are known for their compact size, low cost, and ease of integration into circuit boards, making them widely used in communication systems, radar, and other applications. They can be designed to perform various filtering functions, such as low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filtering.
microstrip circuits can radiate
microstrip line is unbalanced line so it works in same way as other unbalanced line. so in double stub, the microstrip line forms the reactance wanted to match. Hey what happened to methods involving the schmidt chart?
The characteristic impedance of a microstrip line can be measured using a network analyzer or by employing the time domain reflectometry (TDR) method. To use a network analyzer, you can connect it to the microstrip line and measure the reflection coefficient (S11), which can be used to calculate impedance. For TDR, a pulsed signal is sent down the microstrip, and the reflections are analyzed to determine the impedance based on the time delay and amplitude of the reflected signal. Additionally, impedance can be calculated using the dimensions of the microstrip line (width, substrate height, and dielectric constant) with appropriate formulas or simulation tools.

Microstrip line is a transmission line where the conductor is on the top layer of a dielectric substrate, while the ground plane is below the substrate. Stripline, on the other hand, has the signal conductor sandwiched between two layers of dielectric material with ground planes on both sides. Stripline typically offers better isolation and higher performance compared to microstrip due to the shielding effect of the dielectric layers.

The source of radiation for rectangular microstrip radiator is the electric field that is excited between the edges of microstrip element and the ground plane.The fields are excited 180 degree out of phase between opposite edges.Each edge therefore radiates an omnidirectional pattern into half space above the ground plane.The opposing edges are excited out of phase but their radiation adds in phase normal to the element. For more details see Antenna Engineering handbook by Johnson and Jasik. Thanks.
