Abstract

The objective of this analysis is to determine the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant of a microstrip line over a perforated ground plane. The geometry of a microstrip line over a perforated ground plane is shown in Fig. 1. The ground plane contains a finite number of small rectangular apertures in an area below the microstrip line and around it. The solution uses the equivalence principle to replace the apertures with oppositely directed equivalent magnetic currents on both sides of the ground plane. Therefore the problem is decomposed into two isolated problems "a" and "b". Problem "a" belongs to the region above the ground plane and problem "b" is valid for the region below the ground plane.
