  • METALLIZED PLASTIC HIGH RADIO FREQUENCY INTEGRATED WAVEGUIDE
    Publication number: 20160111765
    Abstract: An integrated waveguide for use in high radio frequency communication is provided. The integrated waveguide including: a first substrate including a first plastic layer having on a first inward-facing surface, a first portion of a waveguide feature formed on the first inward-facing surface, and a metal layer disposed on the first inward-facing surface; and a second substrate including a second plastic layer having a second inward-facing surface, a second portion of a waveguide feature formed on the second inward-facing surface, and a metal layer disposed on the second inward-facing surface, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are assembled to define an integrated waveguide feature defined by an assembling of the first portion of the waveguide feature and the second portion of the waveguide feature.

  • Microwave waveguide assembly and method for making same
    Patent number: 6560850
    Abstract: A waveguide and a method for assembling the same are provided. The waveguide comprises a first half and a second half. A gasket is applied to a first mating surface of the first half. The first mating surface of the first half is aligned with a second mating surface of the second half. The gasket is positioned between the first mating surface of the first half and the second mating surface of the second half. The first half is fastened to the second half to form the assembled waveguide.
