FURTHER-SAT project is focused on all available high-frequency technologies: the more classical ones, based on planar circuits and waveguides, the more novel integrated planar waveguides with/without dielectric substrate (i.e., the substrate integrated waveguide -SIW- and their empty versions ESIW and ESICL), and the promising concept of groove gap waveguides. Advanced materials (such as artificial ones -metamaterials-, liquid crystals and high-permittivity ceramics), as well as manufacturing techniques (e.g., high-accuracy milling, additive fabrication methods, Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramics -LTCC- and micromachining processes), are also investigated.
