The transition shows a wideband performance and, contrary to microstrip and coplanar waveguide circuitry, interconnects two planar transmission-line media that are both capable of medium-level power handling capabilities. Over a bandwidth of 18 GHz to 28 GHz (43.4 percent), the single interconnect shows a worst-case return loss of 24 dB and maximum insertion losses of 0.44 dB. For a back-to-back connection, the return loss reduces to 19 dB and insertion loss increases to 0.87 dB. All dimensional parameters are specified, and the design is validated by two commercially available field-solver packages. Moreover, field plots are presented that highlight the step-by-step mode conversion from SIW to stripline.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124852152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, the demand on spectral complex permittivity characterizations of RF materials and dielectric covers at higher microwave frequencies rises. Nowadays, both free space applications, e.g. 77 GHz automotive radar systems, and dielectrics for microchip packages require accurate knowledge of the relative permittivity in order to optimize RF circuit designs. With increasing frequencies, the conductor shape of photochemically etched ring-resonators gets more influence on the effective ring radius, and therefore the measured resonance frequencies, which results in an error for the relative permittivity determination. This paper provides correction factors for the ring radii up to 110 GHz, compensating the altered field distribution due to trapezoidal edges.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123047141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Back reflection in ring resonators is induced by the sidewall roughness of silicon waveguides and is the main cause of response splitting at resonance. Calculation of the ring resonator frequency response without consideration of back reflection yields inaccurate results. Simulation results show that the resonance shape is strongly affected by back reflection and each resonance has a different response from the others in the same ring. Analytically, this manifests as a change in reflection coefficient at each resonant frequency. This paper proposes an analytical model that characterises back reflection and calculates the reflection coefficient.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131550289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
