A technique for measuring the effective dielectric constant of a microstrip line
Abstract
In order to determine the insertion loss represented by a microwave filter, the effective dielectric constant and the characteristic impedance of an unusual type of microstripline must be determined. Attention is presently given to a method through which the effective dielectric constant of a transmission line having a complex cross section can be experimentally determined using a suspended air microstrip.
