Recent Advances In Dielectric Millimeter Wave Integrated Circuits

This paper describes how various concepts and ideas developed in integrated optics structures can be and have been applied toward development of new components and devices for millimeter-wave integrated circuits. Methods of analyzing dielectric waveguides are given and examples of passive and active components made of dielectric waveguides are presented. We discuss possibilities of developing new active and nonreciprocal structures based on the distributed interaction of the guided waves with matters. Some of the difficulties involved in development of these devices are included.© (1982) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
