Microstrip Ports

Apply a microstrip port to represent a feed line in a microstrip structure. A microstrip port is specified on an edge or a set of edges that form a continuous, straight, horizontal (lie in a constant Z plane in the global coordinates) edge that borders only a single face.

Note: To apply a microstrip port, the model must contain a planar dielectric substrate with a conducting ground plane at the bottom.
