Abstract:
A dielectric waveguide line comprising:a pair of conductor layers between which a dielectric substrate of a thickness a is sandwiched; two rows of through conductors formed to electrically connect the conductor layers to each other, the through conductors spaced apart in a transmission direction of a high-frequency signal at a repetition interval p not more than one half of a signal wavelength of the high-frequency signal with the rows separated by a constant width d in a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction, wherein a=0.5d or 2d; and a bend in the dielectric waveguide line, wherein a first row of the two rows of through conductors forms an angle with one of the through conductors of the first row disposed at a vertex of the angle and wherein a second row of the two rows of through conductors forms an arc with a center of the arc disposed at the vertex of the first row and a radius of the arc equal to the constant width d.
