Gutiérrez-Ayala, “EM-based parametric optimization of a transition from microstrip to substrate integrated waveguide interconnect,” in 9th IEEE Latin-American Test Workshop (LATW 2008), Puebla, Mexico, Feb. 2008, pp. 145-150.http://hdl.handle.net/11117/598An 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.engSIWHardened InterconnectsElectromagnetic Based OptimizationParametric OptimizationMicrostrip-to-SIW TransitionsSubstrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW)info:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaper
