Abstract
A monolithic structure with a stepped mode transition. In an example, the monolithic structure includes a waveguide to coaxial transition structure including (i) one or more walls defining a cavity, and having a first opening at one end of the cavity and a second opening at an opposing end of the cavity, (ii) a staircase structure extending within the cavity between the first and second openings, and (iii) a coaxial center conductor extending from a last step of the staircase structure and out the second opening. In an example, the monolithic structure further includes an extension portion extending from below the second opening and under and past an end of the coaxial center conductor. A grounded coplanar waveguide transition board is on a first section of an upper surface of the extension portion, and an amplifier is on a second section of the upper surface of the extension portion.
