Original Abstract Submitted
A dielectric waveguide to transmit an electromagnetic signal, comprises: a first conductor region and a second conductor region. The first and second conductor regions extend along a longitudinal axis of the dielectric waveguide, wherein the first conductor region is formed from a first thermoplastic material and the second conductor region is formed from a second thermoplastic material. The first thermoplastic material has a higher effective permittivity than the second thermoplastic material.
