Based on a linearly tapered antipodal finline, a novel low-loss wideband transition between waveguide and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is discussed. Results show that a low insertion loss (1.2-2.1dB) and a return loss better than 15dB across the entire Ka-band are obtained for a back-to-back transition structure.

The paper presents a design of rectangular waveguide-SIW transition, which provides a broadband and low insertion loss performance. The broadband transition is realized by using double-rhombus antenna probe inserted into rectangular metal waveguide. The transition is simulated and measured at 9-20GHz. The measured results show that a good agreement with simulation and an insertion loss less than 2.8 dB and a return loss better than 10 dB are obtained at 10–18.5 GHz for a back-to-back structure.

In this paper, a novel wideband right-angle transition between thin substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and rectangular waveguide (RWG) based on multi-section structure operating at center frequency 31.5 GHz is presented. A multi-section SIW with a rectangular aperture etched on the broad wall and two stepped ridges embedded in the RWG flange are introduced to obtain a wide impedance matching. The simulations show that the bandwidth with return loss better than 20 dB is about 17 GHz. In order to verify our designs, two back-to-back transitions with different lengths are fabricated and measured. The experimental results agree well with simulations. The proposed component shows an insertion loss less than 0.44 dB and a return loss better than 14.5 dB over 12.15 GH, which corresponds to 38.57% bandwidth.

AbstractThe effects of wire and ribbon bond interconnection on the transmission characteristics at millimeter wave frequency range was presented. The insertion loss and return loss was closely related with the ratio of the signal line width to that of bonded wire or ribbon. The most promise condition for low loss interconnection was that the width of bonded wire or ribbon should be compatible to the width of signal lines. In the actual fabrication of LTCC amp module, the insertion loss of packaging is very small which means that the loss due to bonding is nearly negligible. However, the S11 and S22 degraded severely due to the difference of the types of transmission lines between chip and packaging module. A new transition structure was introduced in order to compensate this difference of transmission lines.

This paper presents novel designs of Ka band transitions between standard rectangular waveguide and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The proposed transitions can provide simultaneous field and impedance matching. The transition with a height-tapered waveguide exhibits outstanding low-loss performance over an ultra-wideband range (entire Ka-band). And the other one with Chebyshev transformers has a compact profile and low loss better than 2dB in a bandwidth of 11GHz at Ka band. The simulation and analysis of the transitions are carried out with Ansoft HFSS.

In this paper, we present a Ku-band low-loss traveling-wave power divider that uses a hollow substrate integrated waveguide (HSIW). For easy connection with microstrip-based devices and circuits, a low-loss transition between the microstrip line and the HSIW structure was implemented using C-cut via holes at the discontinuity interface, which reduces radiation and leakage effects and improves mismatch performance. To validate the performance of the transition, a back-to-back microstrip-to-HSIW transition was designed, fabricated, and measured from 12.5 GHz to 15.5 GHz. The measured results showed a return loss of 18 dB or more and an insertion loss of 0.5 ± 0.07 dB. An HSIW-based, low-loss 1:3 traveling-wave power divider was fabricated and measured from 13.5 GHz to 14.5 GHz. The power divider showed a return loss of at least 21 dB, an insertion loss of 0.57 ± 0.03 dB, and a power combining efficiency of 87.1%–88.3%.

Aim:: Computation of loss factors for one-bit RF MEMS switch over Ku, K and Ka-band for two different insulating substrates. Objective:: Numerical investigation of return loss, insertion loss, isolation loss are computed under both actuated and unactuated states for two different insulating substrates of the 1-bit RF MEMS switch, and corresponding up and down-capacitances are obtained. Methods:: The unique characteristics of a 1-bit RF MEMS switch of providing higher return loss under both actuated and unactuated states and also of isolation loss with negligible insertion loss makes it as a prime candidate for phase shifter application. This is presented in this manuscript with a keen focus on improvement capability by changing transmission line width, and also of overlap area; where dielectric constant of the substrate also plays a vital role. Results:: The present work exhibits very low down-capacitance over the spectrum whereas considerable amount of up-capacitance. Also when overall performance in terms of all loss parameters are considered, switch provides very low insertion loss, good return loss under actuated state and standard isolation loss. Conclusion:: Reduction of transmission line width of about 33% improved the performance of the switch by increasing isolation loss. Isolation loss of -40 dB is obtained at actuated condition in higher microwave spectra for SiO 2 at higher overlap area. Down capacitance of ~ 1dB is obtained which is novel as compared with other published literature. Moreover, a better combination of both return loss, isolation loss and insertion loss are reported in this present work compared with all other published data so far.

A technique for tunable filters with low insertion loss and narrow bandwidth is proposed in the form of comb-line structure. Both resonant capacitor with pin-diodes and resonant inductance in the tunable filter were analyzed and the main source of insertion loss was obtained. A series of filters with same pin-diodes, center frequency, absolute bandwidth and low return loss was simulated. The results showed that, by changing the values of the resonant capacitor and inductance, insertion loss of the filter can be greatly restricted. This technique will allow the design of tunable LC filters with low insertion loss and narrow bandwidth.

AbstractThis paper presents a low insertion loss low-pass filter based on the spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) with single comb-shape. Compared with traditional ones, the proposed filter provides lower insertion loss and return loss by optimizing the structural parameters of the mode conversion and SSPP parts. According to the measurement results, the average insertion loss of the fabricated filter is 0.41 dB and the return loss of which at the near-zero-hertz band is <−25.9 dB. The S parameter comparison result between the unoptimized and optimized filters demonstrates that the optimized filter provides lower insertion loss and return loss, smaller size, and better out-of-band rejection. The dispersion comparison result reveals the reasons behind the improved performances. The better performances of the optimized filter proves that breaking the regularity of traditional SSPP filters is beneficial to the filter's performances.

In this paper, a broadband and simple vertical transition between substrate integrated waveguide and standard air-filled rectangular waveguide is design and experimentally verified. From full-wave simulation of the structure, a relative bandwidth of 19.5% in W-band with return loss better than 20dB is reached. Then, five copies of back-to-back connected transitions are fabricated on RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The experimental results show that the transition pairs have an average of 15% relative bandwidth with return loss better than 12dB and insert loss lower than 1.2dB. To explain the differences between simulated and tested results, an error analysis is presented.
