    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may include a mm-wave waveguide. In an embodiment, the mm-wave waveguide may include a first dielectric waveguide and a second dielectric waveguide. A conductive layer may be used to cover the first dielectric waveguide and the second dielectric waveguide in some embodiments. Furthermore, embodiments may include a repeater communicatively coupled between the first dielectric waveguide and the second dielectric waveguide. In an embodiment, the repeater may be an active repeater or a passive repeater. According to an embodiment, a passive repeater may be integrated within the dielectric waveguide. The passive repeater may include a dispersion compensating material that produces a dispersion response in a signal that is substantially opposite to a dispersion response produced when the signal is propagated along the dielectric waveguide.
