Mechanically Reconfigurable Microstrip Lines Loaded with Stepped Impedance Resonators and Potential Applications

Figure 5

Topology of an electrically small SIR loaded microstrip line (a) and transmission/reflection coefficients from the lossless electromagnetic and circuit simulations (b). The structure is the same as that of Figure 4(a) with the exception of the SIR length, with the lengths of the wide and narrow sections being, respectively, 4 mm and 6 mm. The lumped element values are  nH,  pF, , and  pF.
