| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dielectric waveguides have higher flexibilities than metallic waveguides and lower insertion losses than metallic coaxial lines; thus, they are expected to be used for various applications, especially at millimeter-wave frequencies. In order to demonstrate the high potential of the dielectric waveguides and expand their use in the industry, it is essential to establish a measurement method of the propagation characteristics of the dielectric waveguides with high accuracy. To improve the measurement accuracy of the propagation characteristics of dielectric waveguides, we proposed to apply the TRL calibration method with three devices made of the same dielectric waveguides as that to be characterized. By measuring a low-loss dielectric waveguide with the transmission loss of less than 1.0 dB/m designed for the 28 GHz-band, we experimentally demonstrated the practical usefulness of the proposed measurement technique.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
誘電体導波路を既存の金属線路と組み合わせて実装する際の障害として、金属線路との接合部におけるミスマッチによる反射があった。本研究では、誘電体線路と誘電体アンテナを一体化することでミスマッチを回避した新たな構造を提案した。また、ミスマッチの影響を除去することで、誘電体線路の高精度な伝搬測定を実現する計測手法を提案・実証した。これらの研究成果により、誘電体線路の応用可能性が広がり、5G無線通信や特にその基地局システムにおける産業利用が拡大することが期待される。
