This paper presents a low-loss, sharp roll-off, and wideband millimeter-wave contiguous diplexer implemented on 0.127 mm-thick TLY5 dielectric material to separate U-band frequency range into two jointed ranges of 40-50 GHz 50-60 using low-pass high-pass filter channels. In order integrate the in front end down-converter evaluate response, proposed is supported by three add-on waveguide-to-susp...

A long thin good conducting stripline embedded in a dielectric and centered between two large conducting plates, i.e. the stripline environment, is considered. The stripline is modeled as infinitely long, infinitely thin, and perfectly conducting by first considering a stripline of finite length, thickness, and conductivity in a dielectric layer. Starting from Maxwell’s equations and assuming t...

This paper presents a low loss and high selective lowpass filter which is implemented using suspended stripline (SSL) technology. The proposed structure is comprised of a 13th order generalized Chebyshev lowpass filter which enjoys integrated waveguide-to-SSL transitions. This filter is designed and fabricated to be used as lowpass channel of a U-band diplexer employed in frontend of a U-band d...

In this paper a thorough investigation on superconducting stripline properties has been made. The stripline properties tike inductance, capacitance, propagation delay, etc. have been estimated for both low-Tc and high-Tc superconducting materials. The effects of stripline properties on attenuation and phase velocity as a function of temperature and frequency are also studied. This work will hel...

We propose a balanced frequency tripler scheme for millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave application, in which doublesided suspended stripline is adopted. Two arms of Schottky diodes are mounted on the upper side of the substrate, and the other two arms of diodes are mounted on the lower side. The diodes are DC biased without bypass chip capacitor, which is essential in the common used balance...

In this paper, we study the modeling and layout optimization for on-chip interconnect structures to minimize the inductive coupling. We first investigate the characteristics of mutual (as well as self) inductance for coplanar, micro-stripline, and stripline structures, and examine the effectiveness of design freedoms such as wire sizing, spacing, and shielding. We then propose formula-based mod...

E-plane split-block waveguide construction is well suited to many millimeter-wave components, including power dividers, frequency multipliers, and single-ended, balanced and sideband-separating mixers [1]. Recent ALMA memos have described quadrature hybrids [2] and a matched power divider [3] suitable for split-block construction. This memo describes four additional waveguide elements which can...
