Received Jun 12, 2014 Revised Aug 20, 2014 Accepted Aug 26, 2014 The present paper highlights an innovative broadband millimeter-wave single balanced diode mixer which is designed using a newly designed 90 substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) coupler and two cavities (SIW) filter. The mixer covers RF/LO operating frequency range which fluctuates between 10 to 12 GHz and IF port covers 2GHz. The...

Evanescent mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is one of the promising technologies for design of light-weight low-cost microwave components. Traditional realization methods used in the standard evanescent waveguide technology are often not directly applicable to SIW due to dielectric filling and small height of the waveguide. In this work, one of the realization methods of evanescent mod...

Abstract— This paper presented the design of four-port network directional coupler at X-band frequency (8.2-12.4 GHz) by using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique. SIW appears few years back which provides an excellent platform in order to design millimeter-wave circuits such as filter, antenna, resonator, coupler and power divider. It offers great compensation for smaller size and c...

Substrate Integrated Waveguides (SIW) are used for transmission of Electromagnetic waves. They are planar structures belonging to the family of Substrate Integrated Circuits. Because of their planar nature, they can be fabricated on planar circuits like Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and can be integrated with other planar transmission lines like microstrips. They retain the low loss property of ...

The synthesis of long-term stable polyoxometalate (POM)-stabilized Pt nanoparticles (NPs) is described here. By means of controlled bulk electrolysis, the reduced POM anions, SiW(12)O(40)(4-) (or SiW(12)) and H(2)W(12)O(40)(6-) (or H(2)W(12)), respectively, served the dual role of reductant and protecting/stabilizing ligand for the Pt NPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed...

This article presented the design of two filters SIW (Substrate Integrated Waveguide) in two different bands. Their conceptions were made by two different topologies. The first SIW filter with circular inductive post in the band [33-50] GHz on an RT / Duroid 5880 substrate permittivity 2.2, the simulated results of this filter have shown that the insertion loss lower than -0.4 dB within 3.5% ba...

A novel low profile mechanical tuning technique is introduced in this paper to change the center frequency of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based reconfigurable bandpass filters (BPF), by loading dielectric rods different permittivity resonant cavities and coupling apertures. The simple, cost-effective (rods are machined from conventional substrates), same physical structure provides a w...
