operating in the WR1. 5 waveguide band (500–750 GHz). Average waveguide loss of 0.15
dB/mm was measured at 600 GHz. Capabilities of the proposed approach have been shown
with the development of a 570-GHz three-pole waveguide bandpass filter that has a 0.9-dB
passband loss and a Y-junction coupler operating at 670 GHz. These components have
been tested using a novel on-wafer testing method for rapid characterization throughput. A …
