Abstract
An improved version of the nonradiative dielectric waveguide (NRD-guide), called an insulated nonradiative dielectric waveguide, is proposed for millimeter-wave integrated circuits. This dielectric waveguide can overcome some difficulties which arise when high dielectric material is used in the NRD-guide. Guide wavelengths and transmission losses were measured at 50 GHz and compared with theory. In addition, some basic circuit components such as bends, ring resonators, chip resonators, and T-junctions were fabricated on the basis of the insulated NRD-guide and tested to confirm their usefullness in millimeter-wave integrated circuits. The fabricated components operated as expected without suffering from any appreciable radiation at curved sections and discontinuities.Keywords
