Abstract

This paper presents the calculations of transmission line loss factor by extracting from the Q-factor measurement of the quarterwavelength open stub resonators over the designed frequency and other resonant frequencies. A comparison of the loss factor of the design frequency with other resonant frequencies of each of the stub’s quarter-wave resonances is provided in this paper. The radiation and discontinuity losses are undesirably included in the unloaded Q-factor measurement and it shows that the unloaded Q-factor is not repeatable at different designed frequency. The implementation of the loss factor measurement by quarter-wavelength open stub resonators is becoming more and more important to be considered with the increase of using the electronic circuits operating at high frequencies. † This author is also with Department of Electronic Engineering, Tam Kang University, 151 Ying-chuan Road, Tamsui, Taipei County, Taiwan 25137, R.O.C.
