Abstract

Our study concerns the analysis of K-band passive 
devices using a new technology, substrate integrated waveguide 
(SIW), by the HFSS code. This technology has been applied 
successfully to the conception of planar compact components 
for the microwave and millimeter waves applications. This 
application focuses on three components: A coupler junction 
(-3dB) used for routing, dividing and combining the signals in 
the microwave system. The levels of reflection and isolation 
below -15dB occupy more than 26.43% of the bandwidth, the 
insertion loss S21 and coupling S31 fluctuate between -3.24dB 
and -3.78dB, respectively. The SIW ferrite junction circulator 
has potential applications in integrated communication and 
radar systems. Its frequency response shows reflection losses 
below -15 dB in more than 21.75% of the bandwidth, an 
insertion loss about -0.65 dB, while the maximum of the 
isolation is -38.11dB. The T-junction SIW power divider (-3dB) 
indicates that levels of reflection below -15dB occupy more than 
26.32% of the bandwidth. The transmission coefficients S21 and 
S31 are around -3.54dB, showing equal division of the power 
injected into port 1. In this paper, design considerations and 
results are discussed and presented.
