Abstract
Design, application and implementations of magnetic loops and ring structures are disclosed which may be used to favorably shape or alter electromagnetic fluxes around the transmission lines or waveguides. In transmission lines, application of this system of rings offers opportunities in performance tuning, for example, to achieve more bandwidth or to adjust port impedances. In waveguides, these structures allow selective suppression of excitation of transverse electromagnetic modes (TEMs), hence improving TEM modal purities. The system of rings includes a substrate and a conductive structure for propagating an electromagnetic signal, the conductive structure in contact with the substrate. The device also includes an electrically conductive magnetic, non-conductive magnetic or metallic ring structure positioned within the substrate and proximate to the conductive structure.
