  • Abstract
    The letter describes the salient features of a parametric study of dielectric waveguides intended for millimetre-wavelength microwave transmission. The waveguide is an analogue of the monomode optical waveguide, and, if core and cladding are made from foam materials, with loss tangents of order 10¿5, the HE11 mode attenuation is about 40 dB/km, and the group delay change is 0.35 ns/km over 1 GHz bandwidth centred at 40 GHz.
