Investigation of the Possibility of Damped Sinusoid Decomposition in a Turn of a Meander Microstrip Line

The paper presents a study of the possibility of decomposition of a damped sinusoid in a turn of a meander microstrip line. To do this, firstly, the properties of a damped sinusoid, which can be used to reduce the amplitude of the output signal, is analyzed. Then, simple theoretical foundations of the approach are proposed. The simulation demonstrated that the input signal can be attenuated for three signal frequencies f0=1,3, and 10 GHz. Several options are considered that minimize the amplitude of the output signal. First, we show the possibility of complete signal decomposition, as a result of which the amplitude was attenuated up to 3 times. Then, we consider the possibility of partial decomposition. In this case, the amplitude is decreased by superposition and mutual compensation of half-waves of a sine wave of different polarity. As a result, a decrease was of up to 3.05 times. finally, we present the possibility of reducing the length of the turn to 3.4 times while maintaining attenuation efficiency. The results obtained indicate that these approaches are promising and there is a need to search for the possibility of their practical implementation.
