The background to and methods for an experiment on the design, fabrication and test of microstrip circuits are presented. The experiment is intended to complement final year of undergraduate or M.Sc. level electromagnetics sections of Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses. The circuits are fabricated using p.c.b. techniques thus keeping costs to a minimum.
