Abstract
A device for transmitting or emitting high-frequency waves includes: a microstrip line () with one end (') in a substrate () for transmitting high-frequency useful signals; a first ground surface () and a second ground surface (), which are provided on opposite sides of the microstrip line (), for forming a TEM waveguide assembly; an opening () in the first ground surface () located at a predefined distance (d) from the end of the microstrip line (′) for decoupling a high-frequency signal; a feedthrough device () for conductively connecting the first ground surface () with the second ground surface () on the lateral periphery of the microstrip line (); and a planar coupling device () for receiving and transmitting or emitting the high-frequency useful signal. The feedthrough device () is configured in such a way that at a given frequency (f) it prevents the propagation of waveguide modes and excitation of waveguide mode resonance in the useful frequency band (F).
