Abstract
A waveguide microstrip line converter includes: a waveguide; a dielectric substrate; a ground conductor provided with a slot; a line conductor; and a conductor located at a distance from the line conductor and adjacent to the line conductor. The line conductor includes a microstrip line, a conversion unit, a first impedance transforming unit, a second impedance transforming unit, and a third impedance transforming unit, the microstrip line having a first line width, the conversion unit being located immediately above the slot and having a second line width larger than the first line width, the first impedance transforming unit, the second impedance transforming unit, and the third impedance transforming unit extending in a first direction from the conversion unit and having a role in impedance matching between the microstrip line and the conversion unit. The conductor is adjacent to at least part of the conversion unit of the line conductor.
