Abstract :
Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) offers a simple and affordable method to implement waveguides in a printed circuit board. This paper presents simulated and measured results on the coupling characteristics between two SIWs and between an SIW and a microstrip transmission line. From the results, the authors conclude that the coupling between the SIW and microstrip transmission line is much less than the SIW to SIW coupling. This could prove useful in antenna designs.
