100 GHz SOI Gap Waveguides
Paper in proceeding, 2013

Two gap waveguide technologies, groove and ridge, are presented here for F-band applications. Three different groove gap waveguide devices and four different ridge gap waveguide devices have been fabricated. All of them were micromachined to achieve the feature size required for the frequency band and fabricated in a single process using SOI wafers. The two types provide a more robust coupling to standard waveguides and high frequency probes. Measurements for most of the devices are shown in this paper, showing robust measurements and good agreement with simulations. More measurements need to be done but the initial ones show the promise both in the manufacturing technique and the coupling. © 2013 IEEE.
