Abstract :
This paper presents a new type of a grooved suspended microstrip line configuration. The groove dimensions provide an extra degree of freedom in design to increase the impedance control capability of the line. The method of lines has been employed for this purpose. Finally, the dispersion characteristics of this new type of grooved suspended microstrip line are computed and compared with the simple and suspended microstrip configurations.
