“…Recently, a hybrid TL for SSPP and SIW has been proposed to realize the direct conversion between SSPP mode and SIW mode. 21 Since then, many works based on the SSPP-SIW have been proposed in the microwave or THz devices and circuits, such as hybrid SSPP-SIW bandpass filter, [22][23][24] slow-wave HMSIW filter, 25,26 SIW-SSPP leaky-wave antenna, [27][28][29] SIW-SLSP octuplet mode filter, 30 SIW-ESPP frequency splitter, 31 and integrated mode composite transmission line (IMCTL). 32 Among them, the IMCTL has attracted a lot of attention, because it provides a new possibility for improving the channel capacity of the communication system.…”
