Abstract

Metal-coated flexible dielectric waveguides are implemented for potential deployment in millimeter-wave wireline communication applications. Although bare-dielectric waveguides show excellent loss performance (12 dB/meter) at millimeter-wavelengths, they are sensitive to the surrounding environment and not suitable for bundling multiple channels together. In order to solve the field confinement issue while ensuring the waveguide is still flexible, 3-microns of copper is coated onto the surface of a circular Polystyrene waveguide. The measured S-parameters of the implemented waveguide display less than 4 dB of discrepancy from theoretical study. Finally, the waveguide is paired with a 60 GHz transceiver module to demonstrate the feasibility of high-speed data communication.
