Abstract :
A novel CPW-to-waveguide transition utilizing a uniplanar quasi-Yagi antenna is presented. The X-band back-to-back transition demonstrates 33% bandwidth with return loss better than -10 dB. This transition should find a wide variety of applications due to its high MIC/MMIC compatibility and low cost.
