Abstract

In this letter, a TE₀₁ operation of a multilayered Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) is presented. To enable the propagation of this typically unsupported mode, the SIW is integrated with feeding layer and with an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure, exciting and confining the field within the proposed waveguide structure. The EBG is simply stacked on top and bottom of the proposed structure, allowing for ease of manufacturing. The overall proposed structure is simulated and measured, and the results indicate very low insertion loss in the passband of the waveguide.
