Despite the performance advantages of waveguide filters, microstrip is often the preferred technology due to its low cost.
22.
When the pulse reaches the end of the microstrip, its behaviour depends on the circuit conditions at this point.
23.
Detectors are gas scintillators ( xenon plus methane ) in a microstrip layout, below a mask of hexagonal tiles.
24.
For lowest cost, microstrip devices may be built on an ordinary FR-4 ( standard PCB ) substrate.
25.
Transmission lines such as microstrip, coplanar waveguide, stripline or coaxial cable may also be considered to be waveguides.
26.
Waves on microstrip are affected by the dielectric of the circuit board beneath them, but not the air above them.
27.
Also, unlike waveguide, microstrip is not enclosed, and is therefore susceptible to cross-talk and unintentional radiation.

Radiation damage produced by relativistic lead ions from the SPS beam hitting a silicon microstrip detector of the NA50 experiment at CERN
29.
As the complexity of printed circuits increased, this convenience issue became more important until today microstrip is the dominant planar technology.
30.
A method was provided in 2002 to realize negative-index metamaterials using artificial lumped-element loaded transmission lines in microstrip technology.
