question I am frequently asked is, “Why do the antenna dimensions in the W1GHZ Microwave Antenna Book — Online not include the probe dimensions (for the transition from waveguide to coaxial transmission line)?” The answer is that the transition is part of the transmission line, not the antenna, and does not directly affect the performance of an antenna. The transition may be right at the antenn...

A broadband transition design between rectangular waveguide and GCPW is proposed and studied. The E-field of GCPW is designed to be gradually changed to that of waveguide via the simple tapered probes and metallic vias. The planar circuit of the transition is fabricated by low cost standard PCB process. The tolerance analysis for this transition is also given. A back-to-back transition prototyp...

Birefringent optical waveguides find use in a large number of applications such as coherent optical communication systems, interferometric fiber optic sensors, and polarization sensitive integrated optical devices. These waveguides include various polarization-maintaining optical fibers such as elliptical core fibers, bow tie fibers, and side tunnel fibers and integrated optical waveguides such...

The use of microwave technique has proved to be a viable means for crack detection and sizing surface cracks in metals. In this technique, the surface of the specimen is interrogated with a radiating open-ended waveguide probe and a crack is assumed to be a simple short-circuited rectangular waveguide, causing peturbations in the probe reflection coefficient. Since the growth of fatigue in meta...

A graphene-based on-chip plasmonic nanostructure composed of a plasmonic bus waveguide side-coupled with a U-shaped and a rectangular nanocavities has been proposed and modeled by using the finite element method in this paper. The dynamic tunability of the plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) windows has been investigated. The results reveal that the PIT effects can be tuned via modifying the che...

The problem of excitation of electromagnetic fields by a material body of finite dimensions in presence of coupling hole between two arbitrary electrodynamic volumes is formulated. The problem is reduced to two-dimensional integral equations for the surface electric current on a material body and the equivalent magnetic current on a coupling hole. A physically correct transition from the initia...

To meet the packaging requirements of terahertz (THz) communication systems, a microstrip line (MSL) to rectangular waveguide (RWG) transition is proposed in this paper. In transition, MSL connected corrugated substrate integrated (CSIW) by tapered for quasi-TEM TE10-like mode conversion on substrate, which requires no via holes or shaped dielectric, and easy process THz bands. Then, CSIW strai...

In previous modeling works, the waveguide radiation in the free space is modeled using an infinite flange in aperture plan. In this paper, we propose a new formulation to analyze the radiation of twin rectangular waveguides in free space. Our formulation consists firstly in simulating the free space as rectangular waveguide and seeking the appropriate dimensions that do not affect scattering pa...

Abstract: The propagation of guided and nonconfined optical waves at fixed frequency through dielectric structures with piecewise constant, rectangular permittivity is considered in two spatial dimensions. Bidirectional versions of eigenmodes, computed for sequences of multilayer slab waveguides, constitute the expansion basis for the optical electromagnetic field. Dirichlet boundary conditions...
