Abstract :
The mode-matching technique (MMT) is employed to analyze the transition from substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) to an empty waveguide that is mounted on top of the substrate. Coupling between the two layers is facilitated by an aperture of the thickness of the substrate´s metallization. By appropriately segmenting the transition, a simple and fast MMT routine is developed. Results obtained for a single waveguide resonator mounted on the substrate agree well with simulations in CST and HFSS and thus validate the MMT code. It is expected that this model will aid in the design of substrate mounted waveguide (SMW) filters.
