Abstract : This paper is an analysis of the filter characteristics of a rectangular dielectric resonator (DR) loaded on a Microstrip Line (MSL). Position of the rectangular DR on the Microstrip Line is optimized for best performance of the filter and different orientations of the dielectric resonator are tried out for finding the optimized orientation and position. For efficient coupling between MSL and DR a metallic patch is provided at the bottom of dielectric resonator with the same dimension as the surface touching the feedline. Experimental studies carried out ascertain, the proposed DR loaded on MSL is an effective filter.
