Abstract :
A switchable substrate integrated waveguide is presented that can be switched between two different modes of propagation via the biasing of a pin diode switch. To demonstrate the usefulness of the design a single pole single through (SPST) waveguide switch is presented. The switch is shown to have approximately 50 dB isolation and 3 dB insertion loss over the switchable bandwidth.
