Abstract :
Broadband and planar microstrip-to-waveguide transitions are developed in the millimeter-wave band. Novel printed pattern is applied to the microstrip substrate in the ordinary back-short-type transition to operate over extremely broad frequency bandwidth. Furthermore, in order to realize flat and planar transition which does not need back-short waveguide, the transition is designed in multi-layer substrate. Both transitions are fabricated and their performances are measured and simulated in the millimeter-wave band.
