Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) Coupler on Green Material Substrate for Internet of Things (IoT) Applications

Abstract

This paper shows designed coupler on paper-substrate with Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) techniques. Types of paper-substrate that used are photographic paper. The rectangular coupler is presented with Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) which metallic via on paper-substrate. The structures of the coupler are designed and analysed using Computer Simulation Tools (CST) Studio Suite 2014 Software. This designed coupler operating within frequency of 3.8-5 GHz. The paper-based substrates are permits the implementation of green materials (Eco-friendly) technology. The design of the coupler and its simulated results are reported in this paper.
