TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the integration of rectangular waveguides (RWGs) to planar microwave circuits using multilayer LTCC, multi-layer and single-layer microwave laminates and photo-imageable thick films.
Abstract: Rectangular waveguides (RWGs) are low loss guiding structures whose characteristics and advantages are well known. At microwave frequencies, they are traditionally found as hollow waveguides. A number of researchers have proposed the integration of RWGs to planar microwave circuits using multilayer LTCC [1], multi- [2] and single-layer [3] microwave laminates and photoimageable thick films [4]. These so-called substrate integrated guides (SIW) result in dielectric filled rectangular waveguide and as such have a width reduction of er-1/2 over conventional waveguide. Several researchers have investigated microwave antennas [5]–[7] in substrate-integrated waveguide technology.
