Nonradiative dielectric waveguide circuit components
Abstract
The nonradiative dielectric waveguide (NRD-guide) is a newly proposed dielectric waveguide which can substantially suppress radiation at curved sections and discontinuities and is applicable to great advantage for millimeter wave integrated circuits. Basic circuit components such as transitions between a metal waveguide and an NRD-guide, matched terminations, a ring resonator and a bandpass filter were fabricated with polystyrene material and tested successfully at 50 GHz. Measurements showed that each component worked as expected without suffering from undesirable radiation and interferences at all.
