WAVEGUIDE-MICROSTRIP LINE CONVERTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026132 titled 'WAVEGUIDE-MICROSTRIP LINE CONVERTER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a waveguide-microstrip line converter.
- The converter includes a waveguide with an open end and a dielectric substrate with two surfaces.
- A ground conductor is connected to the open end and has a slot in a specific region.
- A line conductor is provided on the second surface of the substrate.
- The line conductor has a conversion section, a microstrip line, and an impedance transformer.
- The conversion section converts power between the line conductor and the waveguide.
- The microstrip line is located at a distance from the conversion section.
- The impedance transformer matches the impedance between the conversion section and the microstrip line.
- A hole is formed in the conversion section.
Original Abstract Submitted
A waveguide-microstrip line converter includes a waveguide having an open end, a dielectric substrate having a first surface facing the open end and a second surface facing the opposite direction to the first surface, a ground conductor provided on the first surface and connected to the open end, the ground conductor being provided with a slot in a region enclosed by the end face of the open end, and a line conductor provided on the second surface. The line conductor includes a conversion section that performs power conversion between the line conductor and the waveguide, a microstrip line-provided at a distance from the conversion section in a first direction, and an impedance transformer provided between the conversion section and the microstrip line, for performing impedance matching between the conversion section and the microstrip line. A hole is formed in the conversion section.
