The nextgeneration of microwave guiding elements was the strip-like or slot-like planar printed transmission lines used in MicrowaveIntegrated Circuits (MICs).These were planar low profile structures but lacked the high power carrying capacity and high Q-factor of the conventional waveguides. INTRODUCTION Conventional waveguides, the first generation of microwave guiding structures had the advantages of having highpower carrying capacity and high Q-factor, but also had the disadvantages of being bulky and voluminous. Thecomparison proves that at millimeter wave frequencies the choice of dielectric becomes crucial for a waveguide design andSIW is preferable to be used at these frequencies because the leakage losses decrease significantly.Keywords- waveguide SIW dielectric loss conduction loss leakage loss I. Different types oflosses in the waveguide and the optimized SIW are calculated theoretically and a comparison is done between the two.
