Design and Measurement of Metallic Post-Wall Waveguide Components
conference paper
Abstract—In this paper we discuss the design and measurement
of a set of metallic post-wall waveguide components for
antenna feed structures. The components are manufactured on a
single layer printed circuit board and excited by a grounded coplanar
waveguide. For a straight transmission line, a 90° H-plane
bend, and a H-plane T-junction, we compare measurements with
simulations obtained from commercial software. In a next phase,
the set of test components will be used to validate a software tool
for component analysis. This tool is based on our own numerical
method and will be integrated with a circuit simulator
