Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of various curved waveguides composed of double metal strips using finite difference method (FDM). Our investigation reveals that the bending loss of the double metal strip waveguide can be improved with less degradation of the straight waveguide's propagation loss compared to the single metal strip structure. Optimization of the double metal strip waveguide structure has been conducted considering bending and propagation losses.
