Abstract

This work addresses the design of sub-terahertz narrow-band resonators for high performance and low-cost manufacturability. The intended application for these resonators is to realize narrow-band filters for passive millimeter-wave sounding of upper atmospheric humidity using the 380 GHz water vapor absorption line. Various narrow-band resonator designs and manufacturing processes were considered for this application. A design based on a waveguide split-ring resonator topology was selected to be developed and manufactured using laser machining. Experimental results are presented and compared with results from simulations for ten narrow-band resonators fabricated with a design center frequency in the WR-2.2 (325–500 GHz) waveguide band.
