NON-RADIATIVE DIELECTRIC LINE AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT OF THE SAME

摘要

In a non-radiative dielectric line, slots opposing eachother are respectively formed on two conductive plates and adielectric strip is disposed within both the slots to form aNRD guide. Convex portions "P" protruding in the lateraldirection to the propagating direction of an electromagneticwave are formed at a predetermined position of thedielectric strip 3 while concave portions "H" are formed oninternal surfaces of the slots in the conductive plates 1and 2 so as to mate the both of them with each other.Variations in characteristics due to the positional slippageof the dielectric strip and so forth are prevented, and evenwhen the dielectric strip is produced by machining, etc.,the process is easily performed. Characteristics as atransmission line are also maintained without disturbing theelectromagnetic field distribution in a mode to bepropagated.
