If i have a microstrip line with dimension W and L, (L>W). The substrate is of height H and dielectric constatnt Er ( Hence an effective dielectric constant Eeff can be calculated).
This segment of microstrip line should resonate at certain frequency right?
So I have 2 questions:
(1) How to calculate/estimate the resonate frequency? Is it F=0.5*c/sqrt(Eeff)/L ?
(2) How to find the resonate freq through simulation, by HFSS / Sonnet etc?
(1) For a segment of microstrip line with two open-circuited ends, it will resonate when its length is half wavelength; For a segment of microstrip line with one open-circuited end and one short-circuited end, it will resonate when its length is quarter wavelength;
(2) you can use two addtional segments of microstrip line as the input/output to excite the resonant microstrip line by the aperture coupling. And then you can get the resonant frequency from the S21.
