Theoretical and Experimental Study of Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits

Millimeter waves have recently emerged as a practical frequency range for a wide variety of applications. System integration at these wavelengths offers many potential advantages while creating some unique challenges. This thesis is a two-part study of the feasibility of a special class of integrated circuits called dielectric waveguide-based integrated circuits. The first phase deals with the theoretical analysis and characterization of dielectric waveguides suitable for circuit integration. The second part is an intensive investigation of dielectric-based integration schemes and design, fabrication and testing of the components needed for the systems.
