The novel idea of waveguide miniaturization presented in this work relies on the insertion of spiral resonators and dipole arrays in the symmetry plane of the waveguide. Waveguide miniaturization in this context means moving the first transmission band of a waveguide below its cutoff frequency. The design, fabrication and measurement of miniaturized rectangular waveguides is described in this paper. The experimental results are compared with the simulations validating the proposed design approach. Obtained results are referred to the solutions known from the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
