Abstract
This application describes an apparatus and system for a Wide band end launcher to convert a signal in a coaxial line to a CPW line. The apparatus uses a transition zone which gradually tapers in two inclined planes from the coaxial line to the CPW line, connecting the central conductor of the coaxial line to the central conductor of the CPW line. In addition, the outer conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the ground plates of the CPW line. This allows for high bandwidth transfers between the two types of lines for accurate measurements and other purposes.
