“…2(c), a patch is added to the additional substrate to improve the bandwidth. This transition is similar to that of Grabherr [16], whose topology was modified by Hyvonen [8]. The main difference between the two is the position of the dielectric.…”

“…Using this idea, many microstrip-to-waveguide transitions have been presented. This kind of transitions, with one slot in the ground, is narrow banded as a result of the high impedance difference between waveguide and microstrip, proportional to the difference between dielectric constant of the substrate and material in the waveguide [8]. The other problem pointed out is back scattering of the transition which is another expression of the mismatch in the waveguide port.…”

“…The practicality of the new topology will be illustrated by using it in a feeding network for a series fed microstrip array. A few of the transitions mentioned above are useful to feed planar antenna arrays [8,9]. However, we are looking for a new class of splitter/combiner transitions to overcome the disadvantages mentioned.…”

Abstract-A novel configuration for an end-wall microstrip-towaveguide splitter transition is presented suitable for use in series fed microstrip arrays. The low price, simplicity, manufacturability, low sensitivity, and also wideband operation, up to more than 37%, is the result of positive interaction between double slots and double stubs. The transition is applied to a dual band 1 × 2 array. A wideband non-tilted pattern is achieved.

A rectangular waveguide fed by a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) is investigated using the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method. A patch is used to couple energy to the rectangular waveguide (RW) by placing the waveguide opening around the patch. The coupling from the GCPW to the patch is accomplished via an open end. For a 10 dB return loss, a relative bandwidth of 14% is obtained for a GCPW‐to‐RW transition. A back‐to‐back GCPW‐to‐RW transition is analyzed, and is found to have good insertion‐loss characteristics, which verifies that power is indeed coupled to the waveguide. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A novel aperture‐coupled microstrip‐to‐waveguide transition is presented in this article. A vertically mounted strip has been inserted into the E‐plane of a rectangular waveguide in order to provide broadband characteristics and higher forward transmission efficiency. A parametric study was made in order to obtain the optimal design data for broadband, low loss, and high efficiency. In addition, a tolerance study proves that the proposed transition is robust in regards to mechanical assembly and alignment. An X‐band transition was designed, and the measured results demonstrate that the transition shows a broadband (49.5 % with a reference return loss of 10 dB), low insertion loss (0.41 dB), and high transmission efficiency (93.40 %). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
