TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a substrate-independent AFSIW manufacturing technology, enabling straightforward integration of high-performance microwave components into a wide range of general-purpose commercially available surface materials by means of standard additive (3-D printing) or subtractive (computer numerically controlled milling/laser cutting) manufacturing processes.
Abstract: Although all existing air-filled substrate integrated waveguide (AFSIW) topologies yield a substrate-independent electrical performance, they rely on dedicated, expensive, laminates to form air-filled regions that contain the electromagnetic fields. This paper proposes a novel substrate-independent AFSIW manufacturing technology, enabling straightforward integration of high-performance microwave components into a wide range of general-purpose commercially available surface materials by means of standard additive (3-D printing) or subtractive (computer numerically controlled milling/laser cutting) manufacturing processes. First, an analytical formula is derived for the effective permittivity and loss tangent of the AFSIW waveguide. This allows the designer to reduce substrate losses to levels typically encountered in high-frequency laminates. Then, several microwave components are designed and fabricated. Measurements of multiple AFSIW waveguides and a four-way power divider/combiner, both relying on a new coaxial-to-air-filled SIW transition, prove that this novel approach yields microwave components suitable for direct integration into everyday surfaces, with low insertion loss, and excellent matching and isolation over the entire [5.15–5.85] GHz band. Hence, this innovative approach paves the way for a new generation of cost-effective, high-performance, and invisibly integrated smart surface systems that efficiently exploit the area and the materials available in everyday objects.

TL;DR: The feedback between gate and drain, which is neglected in a previous work, is considered, which improves the accuracy of the coupling matrix model for transistors, and the relationship between the coupling matrices and the noise figure is established, which extends the coupling Matrix method to tackle noise-related circuit functions.
Abstract: This article presents a comprehensive active ${N}\,\,+ 4$ coupling matrix approach for the design of integrated filter–amplifier. The feedback between gate and drain, which is neglected in a previous work, is considered, which improves the accuracy of the coupling matrix model for transistors. More importantly, the relationship between the coupling matrix and the noise figure is also established, which extends the coupling matrix method to tackle noise-related circuit functions. Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters are used to implement an integrated $X$ -band filter–amplifier design and to validate the design approach in terms of return loss, gain, and noise. Compared with rectangular waveguide, SIW is utilized for its appealing advantages, such as lower production cost, easier fabrication, and most importantly easier integration with active components. A second-order filtering circuit is applied to simultaneously match the input and output of the transistor. The integration reduces the losses from the intermediate networks in conventional designs, which is particularly important when the frequencies go higher. The measurements agree very well with the simulations in terms of S-parameters, gains, and noise figures.

Abstract: Perkembangan sistim komunikasi wireless mendorong dipergunakannya spectrum frekuensi yang tinggi untuk mendapatkan peluang memberikan sistim dengan kecepatan transfer data yang tinggi. Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) adalah saluran transmisi yang mampu menghantarkan sinyal frekuensi tinggi dengan kerugian yang kecil, tetapi memiliki kemampuan mengintegrasikan banyak komponen. Untuk melewatkan sinyal dari saluran planar ke SIW diperlukan struktur transisi yang memiliki factor refleksi yang kecil. Di penelitian ini pertama-tama dilakukan studi dasar struktur SIW dengan variasi besaran pentingnya, yaitu efek dari diameter silinder metal d dan jarak pitch antar silinder p dan studi terhadap macam-macam jenis dan bentuk transisi yang telah diperkenalkan berbagai publikasi dan dilakukan telaah terhadap realibilitasnya dan kemungkinan pengembangannya.

TL;DR: In this article, a center-fed substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) inclined slot array antenna is designed for a one-dimensional active phased array and a novel coaxial-to-SIW transition is employed to realize the central feed for enhancing bandwidth.
Abstract: In this paper, a center-fed substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) inclined slot array antenna is designed for a one-dimensional active phased array. A novel coaxial-to-SIW transition is employed to realize the central feed for enhancing bandwidth. The antenna prototype printed onto a single-layer Rogers 5870 is composed of 32 × 16 inclined slots working at Ku-band. As shown in measured result, the bandwidth with return loss < −10 dB is from 16.6 to 17.1 GHz, and the sidelobe levels of arrays are below −24.8 dB at 16.8 GHz in H planes. The measured gain is 31.8 dB at 16.8 GHz with the aperture efficiency of 65%. The active phased array is assembled by an antenna and 32 Tx/Rx modules, and the measured results show that the main lobe can obtain a wide-angle scanning from −45 to 45 degrees in E planes. The antenna array is suitable for low profile small active phased array radars and communication systems that require spatial wide-angle scanning.

TL;DR: In this article, a new guided wave structure of half mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) for microwave and millimeter wave application is proposed for the first time.
Abstract: In this paper, a new guided wave structure of half mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) for microwave and millimeter wave application is proposed for the first time. The principle of the HMSIW is described, and its propagation characteristics are simulated and measured. The measured results at microwave and millimeter wave bands show that the attenuation of it is less than that of conventional microstrip and even SIW, but its size is nearly half of a SIW. Thus, we can further compress the size of a microwave or millimeter wave integrated circuit based on this new guided wave structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstrip-to-substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transition is decomposed in two distinct parts, i.e., microstrip taper and SIW step.
Abstract: This paper presents design equations for the microstrip-to-Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) transition. The transition is decomposed in two distinct parts: the microstrip taper and the microstrip-to-SIW step. Analytical equations are used for the microstrip taper. As for the step, the microstrip is modeled by an equivalent transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waveguide. An equation relating the optimum microstrip width to the SIW width is derived using a curve fitting technique. It is shown that when the step is properly sized, it provides a return loss superior to 20 dB. Three design examples are presented using different substrate permittivity and frequency bands between 18 GHz and 75 GHz. An experimental verification is also presented. The presented technique allows to design transitions covering the complete single-mode SIW bandwidth.
