Abstract

In this work, complex propagation constant of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) with lossy dielectric is determined with the help of the generalized multipole technique (GMT). We then apply the GMT to compute scattering parameters of some discontinuities in SIW. The obtained results are compared with the results generated by a commercial finite-element solver.
