摘要: The use of E mode in an insulated image guide is proposed. This has much lower conductor loss than the fundamental, mode. electric field primarily parallel to metal ground-plane; therefore, can be efficiently excited with a compact dipole structure oriented ground-plane. When insulating layer low permittivity and relatively thick, exhibits highest effective (largest propagation constant) all modes. reduces unwanted coupling at discontinuities. Two example structures, straight line double-bended are measured frequencies around 8 GHz. excitation waveguide causes insertion less 0.4 dB, radiation bends itself appears negligible. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
