The novel concept of substrate integrated parallel plate waveguide (SI-PPW) is demonstrated. It allows transverse electromagnetic (TEM) modes to propagate along the vertical axis of the module. The slot array is loaded by a matching layer and optimized for wideband operation. An advanced LTCC process is tailored to implement a true-time feeding network in SI-PPWs. The measured -10 dB matching bandwidth ranges from 51.2 GHz to 66 GHz. Simulated radiation patterns in H-plane exhibit stable properties in the 57-66 GHz band, with side-lobe levels (SLLs) lower than -19 dB. The peak directivity is 17.90 dBi at 64 GHz. This design concept and the proposed technology are suitable for mm-wave systems-in-package, with applications to high-speed wireless networks. © 2016 European Association of Antennas and Propagation. %G English %L hal-01368151 %U https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01368151 %~ UNIV-NANTES %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ CNRS %~ INSA-RENNES %~ IETR %~ IETR_SRC %~ STATS-UR1 %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-MATH-STIC %~ UR1-UFR-ISTIC %~ IETR-BEAMS %~ IETR-ADH %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ UR1-MATH-NUM %~ IETR-SUMIT %~ NANTES-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-NANTES-AV2022
