Abstract :
The authors describe the properties of a microstrip-loaded inset dielectric guide (MSLIDG) and its application to a strip-loaded antenna with horizontal polarization. Dispersion curves are presented for the microstrip-like mode for a MSLIDG with a=22.84 mm, h=10.16 mm, l=2 mm, and the theoretical values of lambda /sub g/ are compared with the values measured in the range of single-mode operation. Attention is also given to the design of a 22-element horizontal array operating at 10.2 GHz.<>
