  • Abstract
    A new tunable waveguide backshort with low loss and reliable performance has been designed. Based on a fixed short and dielectric phase shifter, it has a simple structure which is easy to design and fabricate. These properties make it a sound alternative for millimeter- and submillimeter-wave applications. A W-band (75-110 GHz) backshort has been designed and tested showing excellent performance with a return loss of less than 0.21 dB.
