A Low-loss D-band Chip-to-Waveguide Transition Using Unilateral Fin-line Structure
Paper i proceeding, 2018

This paper presents a D-band interconnect realized using unilateral finline structure. The interconnect consists of a microstrip line implemented on a 75μm-thick SiC substrate. The line then couples to a unilateral finline taper that is mounted in the E-plane of a standard WR-6.5 D-band waveguide. The interconnect achieves low insertion loss and covers very wide frequency range. The measured minimum insertion loss is 0.67 dB and the maximum is 2 dB per transition across the entire D-band covering the frequency range 110-170 GHz. The transition does not require any galvanic contacts nor any special processing and can be implemented in any of the commercially available semiconductor technologies. This solution provides low-loss wideband packaging technique that enables millimeter-wave systems assembly using a high-performance simple approach.
