Claim:
1. A transmission line microstructure for connection to a cylindrical coaxial cable, comprising: a rectangular coaxial microstructure having a center conductor surrounded by an outer conductor extending along a longitudinal axis, the outer conductor including a plurality of layers of a conductive material, the center conductor having an end with a step change in thickness perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and a transition structure electrically connected to the outer conductor of the rectangular coaxial microstructure proximate the center conductor end said transition structure having a step change in height, and extending outwardly therefrom along the longitudinal axis, the transition structure having an upper surface shaped to support a cylindrical coaxial cable at an orientation in which a center conductor of the cylindrical coaxial cable is disposed along the longitudinal axis in electrical communication with the center conductor of the rectangular coaxial microstructure.
