Abstract

A critical component in mm-wave applications is the electromagnetic interconnect between devices. At mm-wave frequencies it is necessary to consider reducing the losses arising from that of using conventional transmission lines such as stripline and microstrip. An interconnect that offers comparatively lower loss connections at mm-wave frequencies is the laminate waveguide (LWG) constructed in low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The LWG has superior loss characteristics as compared to stripline. The LWG, which propagates a dominant TE10 wave mode, approximates a dielectrically filled rectangular waveguide where the top and bottom walls are pattern printing and the sidewalls of the waveguide are tightly spaced via fences.
