Abstract
A waveguide-to-coax-to-microstrip transition includes a rectangular waveguide portion having a ridged impedance transformer attached to the lower wide wall. The waveguide portion is closed off by a conductive wall through an aperture in which the center conductor of a coaxial transmission-line passes. A ridge extension isolated from all four walls of the rectangular waveguide couples the ridge to the center-conductor of the coax. For broadbanding, a glass plate is located between the ridge extension and the upper wide wall. The strip conductor of a microstrip transmission-line is connected to the center conductor of the coaxial transmission-line. The plane of the dielectric plate of the microstrip may be oriented parallel to the narrow wall of the rectangular waveguide to achieve high packing density.
