Mechanically Reconfigurable Microstrip Lines Loaded with Stepped Impedance Resonators and Potential Applications
Figure 7
Photograph of the fabricated SIR loaded microstrip line of Figure 4 on separate substrates, where matched input/output lines of mm have been added to solder the connectors (a). Photograph of the experimental setup with the substrates attached to Teflon slabs (a material with a low dielectric constant, ) and with manual positioners labeled in inches (b). Measured transmission coefficient for some lateral displacements of the SIR (c).
