Octave Bandwidth High-Performance Microstrip-to-Double-Ridge-Waveguide Transition

A Broad Bandwidth Suspended Membrane Waveguide to Thinfilm Microstrip Transition

Excellent progress in the development of Submillimeter-wave SIS and HEBmixers has been demonstrated in recent years. At frequencies below 800 GHz these mixers are typically implemented using waveguide techniques, while above 800 GHz quasi-optical (open structure) methods are often used. In many instances though, the use of waveguide components offers certain advantages. For example, broadband c...

A Full-height Waveguide to Thin-film Microstrip Transition with Exceptional Rf Bandwidth and Coupling Efficiency

We describe a waveguide to thin-film microstrip transition for highperformance submillimetre wave and teraherz applications. The proposed constant-radius probe couples thin-film microstrip line, to fullheight rectangular waveguide with better than 99% efficiency (VSWR ≤ 1.20) and 45% fractional bandwidth. Extensive HFSS simulations, backed by scale-model measurements, are presented in the paper...

W-band Microstrip-to-waveguide Transition Using via Fences

Abstract—The paper presents integrated probe for direct coupling to the WR-10 waveguide with the use of metal filled vias on both sides of the microstrip line. Design and optimization of this novel microstripto-waveguide transition has been performed using 3-D finite element method based software HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). A back-to-back transition has been fabricated and measur...

A New Model for Broadband Waveguide to Microstrip Transition Design

Broadband Millimeter-wave Microstrip Line to Waveguide Transition

Millimeter-wave antennas have been developed for applications of broadband high-speed wireless communication systems and automotive radar systems in these days. Microstrip antennas (MSA) are more advantageous than other millimeter-wave antennas at the viewpoints of low-profile and low-cost. The antenna is connected to the backed RF circuits through the waveguide in the millimeter-wave module as...
