Popis: We present here a new design of a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW), which is based on the use of a metamaterial-inspired periodic structure of coupled complementary split-ring resonators (CSRR). The resonators are etched on the metal surfaces that cover both sides of the dielectric substrate. The strong interaction between two side-by-side placed CSRRs provides the necessary means to block propagation through the ring structure and completely replace the series of via posts that is characteristic of a conventional SIW. The proposed transmission line has excellent propagation characteristics, since propagation losses are kept at levels comparable to those of the classic SIW, while the fully planar structure and the associated ease of implementation render the proposed SIW a strong alternative for a cost-effective implementation of millimeter-wave circuits and antennas.
