This research proposes a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity sensor to detect several chemicals using the millimeter-wave frequency range. The frequency response of the presented SIW sensor is switched by filling a very small quantity of chemical inside of the fluidic channel, which also causes a difference in the effective permittivity. The fluidic channel on this structure is either e...

The title compound, (C(10)H(10)N(2))(2)[SiW(12)O(40)]·C(10)H(8)N(2)·6H(2)O or (4,4'-bipyH(2))(2)[SiW(12)O(40)].(4,4'-bipy)·6H(2)O (4,4'-bipy is 4,4'-bipyridine), was prepared under hydro-thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains a discrete Keggin-type [SiW(12)O(40)](4-) anion (located on a twofold axis), one 4,4'-bipy (located on a twofold axis), two (4,4'-bipyH(2))(2+) cations and six u...

A tin(II) tungstosilicate derivative K(11)H[Sn(4)(SiW(9)O(34))(2)]·25H(2)O with four sandwiched Sn(2+) cations was prepared by reaction of SnCl(2), KCl and Na(10)[α-SiW(9)O(34)]·xH(2)O. Visible-light photocatalytic H(2) evolution activity was observed with Pt nanoparticles as co-catalyst and methanol as sacrificial agent.

This paper presents a technique for the efficient and accurate determination of resonant frequencies and quality factors of Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) resonators. To consider resonators of a general shape the SIW structure is modelled as a parallel plate waveguide populated with metalized via holes. The field into the SIW cavity is found by solving the scattering problem for the set o...

Received Nov 9, 2017 Revised Jan 12, 2018 Accepted Feb 23, 2018 In this paper, design characteristics of cross slot coupling have been explored and realized in a proposed dual-layer SIW prototype for bandwidth enhancement at 10.0 GHz. The assembled prototype consists of two SMAmicrostrip input/output interface with low-loss microstrip-taper via transition and two manually stacked SIW structures...

Fluorescent microtubes based on α-Keggin tungstosilicate and fluorescein (SiW(12)-F) have been obtained by using a simple method, which present tunable photoluminescence from sky blue to green to red by variation of excitation light. The SiW(12) component can inhibit photobleaching of fluorescein.

Wave propagation in single layer substrate integrated waveguides (SIWs) loaded by embedded split ring resonators (ESRRs) is discussed theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the loaded SIW can support a backward-wave passband below the cutoff frequency (fc) of the host SIW or a stopband will appear above fc if the effective transversal permeability is negative. In addition, varactor-...

A low cost 4  4 butler matrix fed antenna array has been proposed for Ku band applications. At high frequencies, the ohmic and dielectric losses are high and also the undesired feed radiation is more in the case of microstrip line feed, therefore substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has been used to feed the antenna elements. The implementation of SIW technology improved the radiation performa...
