Abstract :
This paper presents a study of losses in substrate integrated waveguide. Three mechanisms of losses are considered and separately investigated: side radiation, ohmic loss, and dielectric loss. A systematic comparison of waveguides with different geometry, operating in the same frequency band, is reported. This study permits to give a physical interpretation of the loss mechanisms and to identify design criteria to minimize losses.
