WR-3.4 Overmoded Waveguide Module for the Packaging of a Linear Integrated-Circuit Array
The performance of WR-3.4 overmoded waveguide modules containing a linear array of discrete terahertz integrated circuits is presented to verify a new power-combining technique. Custom-designed thru-line IC chips that include back-to-back broadband antenna transitions were fabricated with an area of...

| description | The performance of WR-3.4 overmoded waveguide modules containing a linear array of discrete terahertz integrated circuits is presented to verify a new power-combining technique. Custom-designed thru-line IC chips that include back-to-back broadband antenna transitions were fabricated with an area of 390 × 750 mm<sup>2</sup> for waveguide packaging. Multiple array modules were assembled to verify the repeatability in performance. The array modules exhibited almost identical amounts of insertion losses compared with single-element modules, showing the best insertion loss of 2.6 dB over a 1 dB bandwidth of 95 GHz. |
