DOI: 10.1109/lmwc.2021.3075347
Abstract: A novel approach for the design of millimeterwave (mmWave) substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) switches is presented. The switch is based on controllable photoconductive elements (PEs), whose conductivity is modulated by a light source. The PE is… read more here.
