Abstract :
This paper presents a low cost technique for fabricating Non Radiative Dielectric Waveguides (NRD). By using perforated dielectric substrates a non-radiative perforated dielectric (NRPD) waveguide is formed. Theoretical results for the guide are shown to be in good agreement with X band results.
