Proposed LTCC module with vector modulator and dielectricfilled waveguide structure (a) separately and (b) assembled.
Source publication
This paper proposes a scalable substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) module accommodating an in-line vector modulator monolithic millimeter integrated circuit (MMIC). The SIW module is realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology, and it can be inserted in a dielectric-filled waveguide (DFWG). The module combines λ

Context 1
... this work, we propose an in-line IC-integration module (seen in Fig. 1) which can add the beam-steering capabilities to a DFWG feed network and rod-antenna array while maintaining the critical width requirements. The proposed design uses end-fire connections to interface a SIW with the existing dielectric-waveguide design [10]. Inside the IC-integration module, the full-height SIW is narrowed down to a ...
Context 2
... fabricated LTCC modules are placed between DFWGs in the measurement assembly (see Figs. 1 and 3). The frequency range of the AFWG-to-DFWG adapter was optimized for the lower E-band and the emphasis of the measurement (dashed) and |S21| (solid) simulation 2 and measurement results for the dielectric waveguide with in-line (a) <I> LTCC SIW through (see Fig. 3a), (b) <II> LTCC SIW with E-plane taperings (see Fig. 3b), and (c) the proposed LTCC vector module with various control phase angles. ...
