== Microstrip Port ==
Â
ICON: [[File:mstrip_icon.png]]
Â
MODULE: [[EM.Tempo]]
Â
FUNCTION: Places a special distributed source of a specified height underneath one of the edges of a PEC rectangle strip object that is parallel to one of the three principal planes
Â
TO DEFINE A MICROSTRIP PORT:
Â
# Right-click on the '''Microstrip Ports''' item in the navigation tree of [[EM.Tempo]].
# Select '''Insert New Source...''' to open up the Microstrip Port Dialog.
# From the '''Host''' drop-down list, select a rectangle strip object. Note that only PEC rectangle strip objects parallel to one of the three principal planes are listed.
# You have to specify the height of the microstrip port, which is the same as the height of the microstrip's substrate.
# A microstrip port can be placed at one of the four edges of the host rectangle strip. You can select the desired location from the '''Edge''' drop-down list.
# Click the '''OK''' button of the dialog to return to the project workspace.
