Abstract :
The analysis of an arbitrarily inclined slot on the ground plane of a microstrip line is presented using the spectral domain approach and reciprocity theorem. Comparison of numerical results for the special case of a perpendicular slot with other available computed and measured data shows a good agreement. It is found that the impedance level can be controlled over a wide range by varying inclination angle. Results should be useful in antenna and multilayer circuit integration applications
