Method of manufacturing a waveguide comprising stacking dielectric layers having aligned metallized channels formed therein to form the waveguide
Waveguides and methods for manufacturing a waveguide that include forming a first channel in a first layer of dielectric material, the first channel comprising one or more walls; forming a second channel in a second layer of dielectric material, the second channel comprising one or more walls; depositing electrically conductive material on the one or more walls of the first channel; depositing electrically conductive material on the one or more walls of the second channel; arranging the first layer adjacent to the second layer to form a stack with the first channel axially aligned with and facing the second channel; and heating the stack so that the conductive material on the one or more walls of the first channel and the conductive material on the one or more walls of the second channel connect to form the waveguide.
