“…The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) [2] and the substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL) [3], are two proposals of substrate integrated circuits that have been a great advance in this field. Several passive components developed in these technologies, including filters [4,5], antennas [6,7], transitions and tapers [8,9], baluns [10,11], couplers [12,13], power dividers [14], and new transmission lines [3,[15][16][17][18], have been proposed. But although their quality factor and losses are better than those of the planar circuits, these characteristics can be further improved (without losing compactness and low cost manufacturing) if the dielectric substrate is removed and the waves are allowed to propagate through air.…”

Substrate integrated waveguides reduce the losses and increase the quality factor of resonators in communication filters when compared with traditional planar technologies, while maintaining their low cost and low profile characteristics. Empty substrate integrated waveguides go one step further, removing the dielectric of the substrate. One of these transmission lines is the empty substrate integrated coaxial line (ESICL), which adds the advantage of being a two conductor structure. Thus, it propagates a TEM mode, which reduces the dispersion and the bandwith limitation of other one conductor empty substrate integrated waveguides. Continuous profile filters, at the cost of being long structures, are very easy to manufacture and design (usually no optimization is needed), and they are highly insensitive to manufacturing tolerances. In this work a simple continuous profile filter, with a stop band response, is designed for the first time in the novel ESICL technology. The influence of the design parameters on the insertion losses and fractional bandwidth is discussed. A prototype has been successfully manufactured and measured. A sensitivity analysis shows the high tolerance of the proposed stop band filter to manufacturing errors.

Substrate integrated waveguides reduce the losses and increase the quality factor of resonators in communication filters when compared with traditional planar technologies, while maintaining their low-cost and low-profile characteristics. Empty substrate integrated waveguides go one step further, removing the dielectric of the substrate. One of these transmission lines is the empty substrate integrated coaxial line (ESICL), which has the advantage of being a two-conductor structure. Thus, it propagates a transversal electric and magnetic (TEM) mode, which reduces the dispersion and the bandwidth limitation of other one conductor empty substrate integrated waveguides. Continuous profile filters, at the cost of being long structures, are very easy to manufacture and design (usually no optimization is needed), and they are highly insensitive to manufacturing tolerances. In this work, a simple continuous profile filter, with a stop band response, is designed for the first time using novel ESICL technology. The influence of the design parameters on the insertion losses and fractional bandwidth is discussed. A prototype has been successfully manufactured and measured. A sensitivity analysis shows the high tolerance of the proposed stop band filter to manufacturing errors.

“…A structure of split ring resonator (SRR) has a simple geometry and easy for implementing on metamaterial computationally, where this structure provides magnetic permeability response dominantly, so that it allows to obtain metamaterial with a negative index of refraction (Patel, 2008). The hypothesis of negative index of refraction reported firstly by Veselago [1]. He said that that if there is a medium which has a negative permittivity and permeability simultaneously, so that the medium will have a negative refractive index, which was called the medium as lefthanded (LH) materials.…”

This work presents a development of a filter and a waveguide using substrate integrated to work at millimeter frequencies with a demonstration method to correct the dimensions of a substrate integrated waveguides (SIWG). As a proof of concept, and using the method of dimensioning correction, another filter and a waveguide are created for working at frequencies up to 40 GHz, more precisely, at central frequency of 28 GHz to perform with 5G applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
