Phase-Matched Waveguide Using the Artificial Anisotropic Structure and its Application to a Mode Converter (Short Papers)

Phase matching by the artificial anisotropic structure and its application to a mode converter are proposed for millimeter-wave dielectric circuitry. A phase-matched dielectric planar waveguide is designed and mode conversion characteristics are studied. An experimental result of the nonreciprocal mode converter are presented to show the usefulness of the structure.
