Abstract:This paper presents a study of various types of losses in substrate-integrated waveguides (SIW) using a genetic algorithm. Three main types of losses are considered and examined separately: conductor loss, dielectric loss, and radiation loss. Furthermore, the current analysis allows for a physical understanding of the loss impacts as well as the creation of design guidelines to reduce losses at 10 GHz frequency while keeping the miniaturized size of the SIW. Validation results obtained using the software Ansys… Show more
