Abstract
Description
An electromagnetics (EM)-based parametric
optimization of a microstrip to substrate integrated waveguide
(SIW) transition is described in this work. We study the
waveguide length effects over the reflection coefficient in order to
find a suitable SIW surrogate model. We perform a parametric
optimization of this surrogate model. Finally, we simulate the
original full-length SIW interconnect with microstrip transitions
at the optimal surrogate model solution, confirming a significant
improvement not only in the reflections but also in the
transmission. Both the SIW interconnect and its surrogate model
are simulated using a commercially available full-wave EM
simulator.
