“…The radiated field passes through the lower dielectric layers along the apertures into the waveguide. When a square patch is used similar to that in conventional transitions [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], the coupled currents flow parallel to the signal lines that are orthogonal to the electric field of the TE 10 mode of the waveguide. To overcome the strong coupling from the signal lines to the patch and for effective TE 10 mode polarization from perpendicularly connected differential signal lines, a symmetrical X-shaped patch is proposed in this article.…”
