Microstrip transmission lines are widely used, providing compact and lightweight electronic circuits that are readily adaptable to hybrid and monolithic integrated-circuit (IC) fabrication technology.

In the past two columns we have looked at the possible side effects of adding a shield to our PCBs. First we showed how to calculate the lowest frequency resonance, backed up with actual data that ...

A significant performance element in communication and radar systems, as well as wireless devices, is the antenna, which may be defined as a transducer between a guided electromagnetic (EM) wave ...

A novel design of an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure based on the Uniplanar Compact EBG (UCEBG) concept is proposed in this paper. The structure is realized by inserting split-ring slots ...
