At the higher frequencies, which one of the following becomes more confined to the region between the micro-strip and ground plane?
At the higher frequencies, which one of the following becomes more confined to the region between the micro-strip and ground plane? Correct Answer Magnetic field
A microstrip line consists of a conductor built on a low-loss dielectric substrate with a grounded plane. It can be easily integrated within a microwave device.
Key Points
- Microstrip lines can be used over a wide frequency range.
- It an be used for a wide frequency range. However, at higher frequencies, the first "limitation" is the substrate thickness.
- This parameter should be sufficiently below lambda/4 considering the dielectric constant of the laminate.
- Hence, microstrip lines designed for high frequencies show lower substrate thickness and also a lower width of the copper trace (for a constant characteristic impedance).
- Also, at higher frequencies, magnetic field is confined to the region between the micro-strip and ground plane, than the electric field.
- The lower width of the copper trace results in a higher loss of the microstrip line.
