“…In Xu et al [2005], Moldovan et al [2006], and Cheng et al [2007] SIW phase shifters are presented, but the bandwidth is not very large. The same occurs for the HSIW presented in Chen et al [2007]. A broadband SIW phase shifter is presented in Cheng et al [2010], but at the expense of presenting a physical length larger than that of the reference line.…”

Substrate integrated circuits (SIC) have attracted much attention in the last years because of their great potential of low cost, easy manufacturing, integration in a circuit board, and higher‐quality factor than planar circuits. A first suite of SIC where the waves propagate through dielectric have been first developed, based on the well‐known substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and related technological implementations. One step further has been made with a new suite of empty substrate integrated waveguides, where the waves propagate through air, thus reducing the associated losses. This is the case of the empty substrate integrated waveguide (ESIW) or the air‐filled substrate integrated waveguide (air‐filled SIW). However, all these SIC are H plane structures, so classical H plane solutions in rectangular waveguides have already been mapped to most of these new SIC. In this paper a novel E plane empty substrate integrated waveguide (ESIW‐E) is presented. This structure allows to easily map classical E plane solutions in rectangular waveguide to this new substrate integrated solution. It is similar to the ESIW, although more layers are needed to build the structure. A wideband transition (covering the frequency range between 33 GHz and 50 GHz) from microstrip to ESIW‐E is designed and manufactured. Measurements are successfully compared with simulation, proving the validity of this new SIC. A broadband high‐frequency phase shifter (for operation from 35 GHz to 47 GHz) is successfully implemented in ESIW‐E, thus proving the good performance of this new SIC in a practical application.

“…2. This scheme is the classical configuration of a six-port junction that has been already demonstrated in the SIW technology [6], [7] and evolved technologies [8], [9]. However, these works dealt with limited relative bandwidths of less than 20% since they were aimed for demonstration purposes or selective radar applications.…”

A wideband (30% relative bandwidth) correlation and detection module based on substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology intended for a radio astronomy polarimeter is presented. The SIW circuit is a six-port network with two input ports that are correlated in two hybrid couplers and their corresponding output signals are routed to Schottky diode detectors, which are designed using microstrip technology and assembled within the same system. The designed SIW structure includes hybrid couplers, power dividers, a 90°phase shifter, and 90°bends, providing a real implementation of a functional system with improved bandwidth performance from 35 to 47 GHz. Experimental results are in concordance with simulations, and they validate the module operation for the proposed application.

“…Figure 4(b) introduces positive phase shift by inserting additional metallic via fins into the transmission path. A positive phase shift element has been used for Ku-band six-port networks [8]. The additional metallic via fins introduced in the waveguide decrease the equivalent waveguide width, so the phase wavelength is enlarged.…”

A novel six-port network based on half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed. In this design, a HMSIW hybrid 3 dB coupler and a -90°phase shifter are designed as fundamental building block of six-port network. By combining four HMSIW couplers and one phase shifter, a HMSIW six-port network at 29-32 GHz is constructed. The six-port network is fabricated and measured. Measurement results agree well with simulation, and show good balance and phase relationship between ports.
