A pin surface structure has been used in order to
suppress undesired modes in a packaged W-band RF front-end
receiver. A parametric analysis has been carried out in order to
determine the optimum dimensions. Resonances suppression has
been demonstrated.

A pin surface structure has been used in the upper
metal plate of a packaged W-band RF front-end receiver in order
to suppress the propagation of unwanted modes. A full parametric
analysis of the periodic structure within the irreducible
Brillouin zone has been carried out in order to understand
the behavior of the pin surface and determine the optimum
dimensions for its operation in the full W-band. Resonances
suppression has been demonstrated in the W-band both in
simulation and experimentally.
