Abstract :
This paper investigates forming rectangular waveguides using printed circuit boards, which would potentially offer an extremely cheap and reliable means of providing a low loss transmission line for high frequency systems. A waveguide was synthesised, using metallized vias to form the edge of the waveguide - these designs are sometimes termed SIRWs (substrate integrated rectangular waveguides).
