Abstract
A structure (20) coupling a microwave signal to a waveguide (30) is provided. Transmission walls (26) are supported in the waveguide to only partially surround a probe (22) extending longitudinally from the waveguide wall. The probe preferably terminates at one end in a transmit/receive portion (36) directed into the waveguide internal space and at the other end in a launch portion extending through either the waveguide endwall (24) or sidewall (28). The structure is particularly suited for economical fabrication.
