ABSTRACT:
A microstrip transmission line to waveguide transmission line transition. A microstrip transmission line is separated from a ground plane by a dielectric therebetween. The microstrip transmission line terminates at a microstrip transmission line open circuit end. A waveguide channel having narrow dimension waveguide walls and a broad dimension base waveguide wall connected therebetween is provided. The waveguide channel has a waveguide short circuit wall located along the channel. The narrow dimension waveguide walls are coupled with the ground plane to provide a broad dimension top waveguide wall for the waveguide transmission line. An aperture is located transverse to the microstrip transmission line and passes through an aperture ground plane opening in the ground plane. The aperture is located proximate to the microstrip transmission line open circuit end to provide a microstrip transmission line open circuit stub and proximate to the waveguide short circuit wall to provide a waveguide transmission line short circuit stub.
