Abstract
The spectral-domain analysis of a shielded microstrip attenuator is pr esented. The microstrip attenuator consisting of a microstrip line cov ered by lossy material is enclosed inside a housing. With the applicat ion of the SDA immitance method, the attenuation factor was determined as a function of physical and material parameters. The numerical resu lts show that the attenuation is most affected with material parameter s in the lossy-layer region. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
