Abstract
The ridged substrate integrated coaxial line (RSICL) supports transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave with small size, broadband, and good shielding performance. This article presents a two-material RSICL, which has two different dielectric materials filled in its substrate layers. Compared with the conventional RSICL with only one dielectric material, the two-material RSICL shows a higher cutoff frequency of the first higher order mode. Hence, the monomode bandwidth of the two-material RSICL can be improved accordingly. Based on the printed circuit board (PCB) process, the two-material RSICL with feeding structures is designed and fabricated. In the experiment, the first two-order modes of the two-material RSICL are excited with two types of transitions. The measured monomode bandwidth of the two-material RSICL is from dc to 44 GHz, which is 14.9% wider than that of the one-material RSICL.
