Trapped image guide for millimeter-wave circuits
Abstract
A novel dielectric waveguide is proposed for use in millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and a simple analysis for dispersion characteristics is developed. Numerical results agree reasonably with measured data. Radiation losses of this waveguide at curved sections are proven to be considerably less than those of the image guide. As an application of this waveguide, a leaky-wave radiator has been tested.
