Abstract :
This paper presents an original technique for implementing membrane structures for millimeterwave applications. The process is described and results on transmission lines and filters are given, with simultaneous comparisons between measurements and simulations. According to the performance which are presented, the proposed process appears as an interesting possible alternative for membrane technology.
