Abstract: The present invention includes a method of creating high Q empty substrate integrated waveguide devices and/or system with low loss, mechanically and thermally stabilized in photodefinable glass ceramic substrate. The photodefinable glass ceramic process enables high performance, high quality, and/or low-cost structures. Compact low loss RF empty substrate integrated waveguide devices are a cornerstone technological requirement for RF systems, in particular, for portable systems.
