Abstract

A thorough analytical procedure is developed for evaluating the frequency dependent loss characteristics and effective permittivity of millimeter-wave microstrip lines. The technique is based on the measured reflection coefficient of microstrip resonator pairs. Experimental data including Q factor, effective relative permittivity, and fringing for 50 Ω lines on GaAs was obtained. Effects of an imperfect open circuit, coupling losses, and loading of the resonant frequency are considered. A cosine tapered ridge guide fixture was used to characterize the resonators.
