Abstract :
In this paper, a waveguide-to-microstrip transition is introduced. This end-wall transition employs a double slit configuration in the ground plane of a microstrip line to couple the electromagnetic waves. The purposed transition features lower radiation losses in comparison with existing waveguide-to-microstrip transitions.
