Microstrip Port

Different configurations using a microstrip port are considered.

The first configuration considered is to define a microstrip port on the full width of the microstrip line. For the second and third configurations, a feed structure is created using polygons to decrease the width of the microstrip port.

Narrow Version

To decrease the width of the microstrip port, a polygon is added to the microstrip line to act as the feed structure. For better accuracy, ensure that the width of the microstrip port is roughly 1 5 of the microstrip line width.
