Substrate Integrated Waveguides
Soumava Mukherjee, Prasun Chongder and Animesh Biswas
Substrate Integrated Waveguides by Mukherjee, Chongder and Biswas is an excellent reference for microwave engineers designing substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-based circuits. The basics of SIW theory are introduced in Chapters 1 and 2, beginning with the presentation of SIW modes of operation in the context of a traditional rectangular metallic waveguide with reduced height. The working principles introduced in the first two chapters enable any microwave designer to get started with a design while accounting for SIW frequency of operation, loss and methods of transitioning from more traditional transmission lines into SIW.
Chapters 3 and 4 are more advanced, focusing on SIW antenna design. The text is focused on practical design and will be quite useful for practicing antenna designers. Several examples of cavity-backed slot antennas are provided in Chapter 3, including narrow-band, dual-band, broadband and dual polarization designs. Chapter 4 covers more advanced designs, including a high gain slot antenna design as well as self-multiplexing designs which incorporate a diplexer or triplexer into the antenna. Antenna arrays using cavity-backed slot antennas are also included in the fourth chapter.
Chapter 5 covers filters implemented in SIW and is more theory-heavy than the prior chapters, with the first several pages being dedicated to filter design theory. The most basic implementation of filters using inductive metal posts and irises is first discussed, followed by more advanced cavity-based filters. As in prior chapters, there are several practical design examples, including measured data. Chapter 6 covers additional passive circuit designs in SIW. These include diplexers, triplexers and branch line couplers. Finally, Chapters 7 and 8 cover oscillators and mixers integrated with SIW, as well as antennas integrated with SIW filters and other passive components.
In summary, this book is recommended for microwave designers who are interested in designing and building SIW-based circuits. The practical examples alone are worth owning the book, as it provides reference designs for many applications and inspiration for designs outside the scope of the book.
