Abstract
To improve the bandwidth of the SIW, a planar ridged substrate-integrated waveguide (RSIW) with a center line of cylindrical posts is proposed. Theoretical design formulas are derived. The bandwidth is defined as between the cutoffs of TE 10 and TE 20 modes of the RSIW. The modes are made equivalent to those of a transmission line cavity, across the transverse plane, and the cavity is loaded by a ridge of capacitive posts. Good agreements are observed between the theoretical formulas and numerical simulations. A 37% bandwidth enhancement is achieved; in fact, with structures added to increase the post capacitance, still higher bandwidth enhancement is possible.
