Abstract :
The paper presents a retrospective review of the development of short millimeter (mm) and sub-mm wavelength quasi-optical technology based on the hollow dielectric beamguide as a transmission line. This development started in 1964 and was widely used in the nuclear fusion research in USSR. Later on the same principles were applied in the development of battlefield radars and microcompact RCS measurement ranges.
