Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to create good transitions for inverted microstrip-based versions of gap waveguide that are used to feed slot or horn antenna arrays. Two new millimeter-wave transitions from inverted microstrip gap waveguide to rectangular waveguide are presented. Both geometries are similar and consist of a planar probe, which contains a rectangular patch or T-section. The planar probe is inserted inside the rectangular waveguide through an opening made in the broadside wall of the waveguide. The main difference between the two geometries is that one of them extends upwards and the other one downwards with respect to the planar inverted microstrip gap waveguide circuit. The simulated S-parameters show promising results.
