Abstract
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-b ...

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. [--]
