To add an edge port on a specific section of a line, click on the “Draw” and select “Add edge port”
Important: Please ensure that the desired section of a line where the port is to be placed is clicked on first
![Page 27: MWO – Application of EM Structure in Filter Design Soh Ping Jack Sabarina Ismail.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b397f8b9ab05999ddd9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

5.3 Drawing Patch & Feedlines – Placing Port
After selecting, place the port on the edge of the feed line. The port will be
active indicating a legal/valid placement of the port on a specific
edge on the feed line.
Note: The edge port will be labeled “1”, “2” and so on, to indicate the port number. In this case, a filter
has two ports

5.4 Drawing Patch & Feedlines – Extending Port
After placement of the port, go to the edge of the port till a double-sided
arrow is seen. Then start dragging a port extension inwards. An arrow like
this should be seen
Note: Port extension should be at least 3 times the height of the substrate. In
this case, it is 3x1.6mm=4.8mm
