Abstract

In this study, waveguide-to-CPW transitions were developed for integrating waveguide and MMIC at V-band. The finite element method for numerical analysis and repeated experiments were performed to propose two types of waveguide-to-CPW transition. Using quartz substrate, proposed structures were designed for low loss as well as broadband characteristics. These waveguide-to-CPW transitions showed a good reliability and insensitivity to matching precision, and they could be fabricated with lower cost than that of the conventional connectors. Proposed two types of the structure showed insertion loss less than 1.9 dB and return loss better than 14 dB from 53 GHz to 60 GHz except unwanted resonance region, respectively.

본 연구를 통하여 60 GHz근방의 V-band에서 도파관과 MMIC 집적을 위한 도파관-CPW변환 구조가 개발되었다. 수치 해석과 반복적인 실험을 통하여 두 가지 형태의 변환 구조를 제작하였으며, 손실이 적은 수정 기판을 이용하여 광대역 및 저손실 특성을 갖도록 설계하였다 개발된 변환 구조는 재현성이 뛰어나고, 금속 가공의 정밀도가 특성을 크게 변화시키지 않아 기존의 커넥터보다 저 비용으로 제작이 가능하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 두 가지 형태의 도파관-CPW 변환 구조를 back-to-back으로 연결하여 특정한 결과 공진 구간을 제외하고 두 구조 모두 $53\~60 GHz$에서 삽입 손실은 1.9 dB 이하, 반사 손실은 14 dB 이상의 특성을 보였다.
