Abstract :
A first order analytical method is developed to analyze the guided modes in substrate integrated waveguides. The complex propagation constant is derived as a closed expression which is a function of frequency, and geometrical and material parameters. This single equation is able to describe multimode and band gap effects in substrate integrated waveguides. Therefore, the initial design procedure can be greatly simplified by using this analytical model as starting point
