Abstract:
A coupling arrangement for a stripline network comprising:a first and second ground plane arranged essentially parallel to one another and extending in a common main direction, each including at least one aperture, a stripline conductor arranged between the first and the second ground plane and including a first main surface facing towards the first ground plane and a second main surface facing towards the second ground plane, a first dielectric layer located between the stripline conductor and the first ground plane, a second dielectric layer located between the stripline conductor and the second ground plane, wherein a shortest distance from the aperture in one of the first and second ground planes to a closest one of the first and second main surfaces of the stripline conductor is considerably exceeded by a shortest distance from the one of the first and second main surfaces of the stripline conductor to the other of the first and second ground planes.
