Abstract
This invention relates to a microstrip to slotline transition circuit operating on two frequency bands, in which a first filtering circuit is connected between a first portion of microstrip line and a first input/output port, said first circuit and the portion of microstrip line being adapted to accept the frequencies from a first frequency band and reject the frequencies of a second frequency band, a second filtering circuit is connected between a second portion of microstrip line and a second input/output port, said second circuit and the portion of microstrip line being adapted to accept the frequencies from the second frequency band and reject the frequencies from the first frequency band, and the slotline is sized to provide an impedance that is substantially equal to the impedance of an open circuit at the coupling zone between the microstrip line and the slotline.
