Abstract

A non-radiative dielectric waveguide mixer includes at least one conductive plate, a dielectric waveguide held on said conductive plate and a solid-state device disposed across said dielectric waveguide for mixing at least two high-frequency signals which are propagated in opposite directions along said dielectric waveguide. The non-radiative dielectric waveguide mixer may be combined with a high-frequency signal generator and an antenna mechanism to provide a non-radiative dielectric waveguide radar module.
