Hassan ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Recently, interest in the microstrip ridge gap waveguide (MRGW) has increased due to the need for a self-packaged and low-loss structures for millimeter-wave applications. The MRGW consists of a grounded textured surface, which is artificially representing a perfect magnetic conductor surface loaded with a thin low dielectric constant substrate with a printed strip. This is topped with another dielectric substrate covered with a conducting plate at the top as a ground plane. Currently, the full-wave and optimization tools are used to design the MRGW structure. Consequently, an efficient modeling and design tool for the MRGW is proposed in this paper via curve fitting. Closed form empirical expressions for the effective dielectric constant, characteristic impedance, and the dispersion effect are provided. The developed expressions are generalized for arbitrarily chosen MRGW parameters. The expressions are verified with the full-wave solution. The results show the potential of the proposed approach in modeling the MRGW structure INDEX TERMS Gap waveguide, RGW, microstrip, printed RGW, curve fitting. I.

  • Waveguides Waveguides, Like Transmission Lines, Are Structures Used to Guide Electromagnetic Waves from Point to Point. However
    Waveguides Waveguides, like transmission lines, are structures used to guide electromagnetic waves from point to point. However, the fundamental characteristics of waveguide and transmission line waves (modes) are quite different. The differences in these modes result from the basic differences in geometry for a transmission line and a waveguide. Waveguides can be generally classified as either metal waveguides or dielectric waveguides. Metal waveguides normally take the form of an enclosed conducting metal pipe. The waves propagating inside the metal waveguide may be characterized by reflections from the conducting walls. The dielectric waveguide consists of dielectrics only and employs reflections from dielectric interfaces to propagate the electromagnetic wave along the waveguide. Metal Waveguides Dielectric Waveguides Comparison of Waveguide and Transmission Line Characteristics Transmission line Waveguide • Two or more conductors CMetal waveguides are typically separated by some insulating one enclosed conductor filled medium (two-wire, coaxial, with an insulating medium microstrip, etc.).

  • CHAPTER-I MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION LINES the Electromagnetic Spectrum Is the Range of All Possible Frequencies of Electromagnetic
    CHAPTER-I MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION LINES The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absolved. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio communication to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end, thereby covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom as shown in Fig 1.1. The limit for long wavelengths is beyond one‟s imagination. One theory existing depicts that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. A few scientists do believe that the spectrum is infinite and continuous. Microwaves region forms a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum as shown in Fig 1.1. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves generally in the frequency range of 1 G Hz to 300 GHz. However with the advent of technology usage of higher end of the frequencies became possible and now the range is extended almost to 1000 G Hz. Fig:1.1: Electromagnetic Spectrum 1 Brief history of Microwaves • Modern electromagnetic theory was formulated in 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell, a German scientist solely from mathematical considerations. • Maxwell‟s formulation was cast in its modern form by Oliver Heaviside, during the period 1885 to 1887. • Heinrich Hertz, a German professor of physics carried out a set of experiments during 1887-1891 that completely validated Maxwell‟s theory of electromagnetic waves. • It was only in the 1940‟s (World War II) that microwave theory received substantial interest that led to radar development. • Communication systems using microwave technology began to develop soon after the birth of radar.

Not only does the THM exhibit two distinct allowed bands with right- handed and left-handed electromagnetic responses, but posses a further advantage of being independent to the polarizations of external excitations. In addition, the THM automatically matches the wave impedance in free space, leading to maximum transmittances about 0.8 dB in the left-handed band and almost 0 dB in the right-handed band, respectively. Such a THM can be employed for diverse electromagnetic devices including dual-band bandpass filters, ultra-wide bandpass filters and superlenses. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3918) Metamaterials; (350.3618) Left-handed materials; (260.5740) Resonance; (350.4010) Microwaves.

Braaten Date Department Chair ABSTRACT This thesis presents the work of using magnetic responsive particles as a method to manipulate the surface impedance reactance of a microstrip line containing uniform capacitive gaps and cavities containing the particles. In order to determine the transmission line’s surface impedances created by each gap and particle containing cavities, a sub-unit cell that centers the gap and cavities was used. Shown in simulation, the magnetic responsive particles can then be manipulated to increase or decrease the reactance of the surface impedance based on the strength of the magnetic field present. The sub-unit cell with the greatest reactance change was then implemented into a unit cell, which is a cascade of sub-unit cells.
