DIELECTRIC WAVEGUIDE

摘要

A dielectric waveguide for propagating electromagnetic signals includes a cladding member and a jacket member. The cladding member extends a length between two ends. The cladding member is formed of an intermediate dielectric material. The cladding member defines a core region that extends through the cladding member along the length of the cladding member. The core region is filled with a central dielectric material having a dielectric constant value that is less than a dielectric constant value of the intermediate dielectric material of the cladding member. The jacket member engages and surrounds the cladding member along the length of the cladding member. The jacket member is formed of an outer dielectric material having a dielectric constant value that is less than the dielectric constant value of the intermediate dielectric material of the cladding member.

1. A dielectric waveguide for propagating electromagnetic signals, the dielectric waveguide comprising:
a cladding member extending a length between two ends, the cladding member being formed of an intermediate dielectric material, the cladding member defining a core region that extends through the cladding member along the length of the cladding member, the core region being filled with a central dielectric material having a dielectric constant value that is less than a dielectric constant value of the intermediate dielectric material of the cladding member; and a jacket member engaging and surrounding the cladding member along the length of the cladding member, the jacket member being formed of an outer dielectric material having a dielectric constant value that is less than the dielectric constant value of the intermediate dielectric material of the cladding member.
