Abstract

In this paper, we propose an SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) multi-section E-plane transformer using air-holes for an SIW system with variable thicknesses. Air-holes are inserted into a SIW E-plane quarter wavelength transformer for matching an E-plane impedance discontinuity. A PSIW(Punched Substrate Integrated Waveguide) consisted of air-holes has an SIW characteristic impedance tunability because of reducing a equivalent shunt capacitance of the SIW. And, a PSIW multi-section E-plane transformer is implemented for improving a matching bandwidth by using the Chebyshev polynomial. The measurement results of PSIW double-section E-plane transformer show that the insertion loss($S_{21}$) is $1.57{\pm}0.11$ dB and input return loss($S_{11}$) is more than 15 dB from 11.45 GHz to 13.6 GHz.

본 논문에서는 다양한 기판 집적 도파관 전송선 두께를 가지는 시스템에 적용을 위해서 천공된 기판 집적 도파관 다단 E-plane 변환기를 제안한다. 본 제안 구조는 ${\lambda}_g/4$ 임피던스 변환기 원리를 적용하여 ${\lambda}_g/4$ 길이 내에 천공을 삽입한다. 천공된 기판 집적 도파관은 도파관 내부의 낮아진 capacitance를 통해 특성 임피던스가 증가되어 E-plane 변환기로 구현된다. 또한, 체비셰프 다항식을 적용하여 구현한 천공된 기판 집적 도파관 다단 E-plane 변환기는 대역폭을 개선하였다. 천공된 기판 집적 도파관 2단 E-plane 변환기는 11.45~13.6 GHz의 주파수 대역에서 삽입 손실 $1.57{\pm}0.11$ dB, 입력 반사 손실은 15 dB 이상으로 나타났다.
