Abstract
Conductors extend parallel to one another in a device in the microwave range. Each conductor includes a conductive layer, a layer of a dielectric material and a ground plane. The ground planes of the two conductors are separated in the device by a core made of a dielectric material. The various layers are arranged on one another in the desired order, and a cavity is arranged in the device, extending from that layer in the first conductor which is to be connected to the second conductor, at right angles to the main direction of this layer, up to and including the layer on which the conductive layer of the second conductor is to lie. A component including a stripline conductor is arranged in the cavity, the component being arranged so that electrical contact is brought about between the conductor of the component and that layer in the first conductor which is to be connected to the second conductor. Subsequently, the conductive layer of the second conductor and its remaining ground plane and dielectric layer are arranged on the device so that the electrical contact is brought about between the conductor of the component and the conductive layer of the second conductor.
