Air-filled SIW transmission line and phase shifter for high-performance and low-cost U-Band integrated circuits and systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, air-filled Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) is proposed and demonstrated for the first time at U-band. This low-loss transmission line is developed on a low-cost multilayer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) process. The top and bottom layers may make use of an extremely low-cost standard substrate such as FR-4 on which base-band or digital circuits can be designed so to obtain a very compact, high performance, low-cost and self-packaged integrated system. For measurement purposes, an optimized-length dielectric- to air-filled SIW transition operating at U-band with 0.21 ±0.055 dB insertion loss is developed. The measured insertion loss of an air-filled SIW of interest at U-band is 0.122 ±0.122 dB/cm compared to 0.4 ±0.13 dB/cm for its dielectric-filled counterpart. Furthermore, an air-filled SIW phase shifter is reported for the first time. It achieves a measured 0.15 ±0.14 dB transmission loss at U-band. The proposed air-filled SIW transmission line and phase shifter are of particular interest for high performance and low-cost millimeter-wave circuits and systems.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
