Waveguide design techniques to enhance channel characteristics

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a dispersion reduced dielectric waveguide and methods of forming such devices. In an embodiment, the dispersion reduced dielectric waveguide may include a first dielectric material that has a first Dk-value, and a second dielectric material that has a second Dk-value that is greater than the first Dk-value. In an embodiment, the dispersion reduced dielectric waveguide may also include a conductive layer formed around the first and second dielectric materials. According to an embodiment, a first portion of a bandwidth of a signal that is propagated along the dispersion reduced dielectric waveguide is primarily propagated along the first dielectric material, and a second portion of a bandwidth of the signal that is propagated along the dispersion reduced dielectric waveguide is primarily propagated along the second dielectric material.
