Abstract :
A shielded microstrip-like line with complex conductor shape is introduced for application in microwave integrated circuits. The strip conductor of the microstrip line is modified by lateral ribs embedded in the dielectric substrate. Based on the full-wave method of overlapping regions, the structure propagation characteristics are analysed and the effect of lateral rib implementation is evaluated
