A fin line apparatus, within a rectangular waveguide, for detecting R.F. signals utilizes metallic film conductors, disposed on both surfaces of a planar dielectric centered in the waveguide parallel to its sidewalls, for forming aligned channels, a first of which couples R.F. signals to a diode which provides rectified signals to a metallic film filter disposed in a gap in a conductor which opens into the first channel.

Fin line circuit for detecting R.F. wave signals

A broad band millimeter wave finline antenna includes a finline transmission means having a flared end portion formed by tapering the adjacent edges of the finline elements and affixing planar sectoral conducting members to the tapered edges. The finline transmission means may be mounted in a housing that provides a transition for coupling the antenna to exterior waveguides or other transmission means.
