Abstract

This article provides an up-to-date survey of microstrip circuits. It defines the main features of microwave integrated circuits (MIC), their particuliar characteristics in terms of electromagnetic fields and measurements, the materials most commonly used, the techniques developed to realize and connect circuits and the available computer software for their analysis, synthesis, optimization, and also for the drafting and cutting of the masks required to carry out the photolithographic process. The most accurate relations presently available to characterize microstrip lines are given, and the major models introduced to characterize discontinuities are briefly described.
