Design of Stripline for EMC Testing

Abstract

A comprehensive approach to the design of a stripline for EMC testing is given in this paper. The authors attention has been focused on the design items that are most crucial by the achievement of satisfactory value of the VSWR and the impedance matching at the feeding ports in the extended frequency range from 80 MHz to 1000 GHz. For this purpose, the Vivaldi-structure and other advanced structures were considered. The theoretical approach based on numerical simulations lead to conclusions which have been applied by the physical design and also evaluated by experimental results.
