  • Abstract
    Microstrip lines can be shielded by a dielectric cover to reduce the radiation loss. Experiments carried out using ring resonators showed the insertion loss can be substantially reduced. The effective dielectric constant of these shielded microstrip lines was calculated by the variational method. The results agree very well with experiment.
