Configuration Study of New Low-Loss MM (Millimeter) Wave Guiding Structures

摘要

This report summarizes the result of the research carried out at EMtec Engineering, Inc., Los Angeles, under Contract DAAG 29-84-C-0025 with the Army Research Office. The primary objective of this research program was to learn whether there exists a dielectric waveguide configuration which offers lower loss figure than a circular dielectric rod. Important evidence was found which showed that it is feasible to optimize a configuration to achieve low-loss guidance of mm waves. Future research areas are also described in this report. Keywords include: MM waves; Dielectric waveguide; Electromagnetic waves; and Guided waves.
