In today's world, communication is essential for various aspects of life. From military operations and medical systems to community networks, communication plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth functioning of these applications. With the advancement of technology, communication has become more efficient and has significantly reduced the barriers of distance, bringing people and nations closer together. One of the key components of modern communication systems is microstrip devices. These devices are used in a wide range of applications, including filters, diplexers, and triplexers. Filters are used to selectively allow certain frequencies to pass through while blocking others, making them essential for signal processing and interference reduction in communication systems. Diplexers and triplexers are used to combine or separate multiple signals, allowing for more efficient use of the available frequency spectrum. This article aims to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art microstrip devices used in communication systems. It will review previous studies and advancements in the field, providing insights into the latest developments and technologies. By understanding the current state of research and development in microstrip devices, engineers and researchers can gain valuable knowledge to improve the performance and efficiency of communication systems. Furthermore, the article will explore the potential applications of microstrip devices in various communication systems, such as satellite communications, wireless networks, and radar systems. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of these devices will be crucial for optimizing their performance in different scenarios. Overall, this article will serve as a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the role of microstrip devices in communication systems. Delving into the scope of filters, diplexers, and triplexers, will provide valuable insights into the advancements and potential future developments in this important area of technology.Keywords:
