Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a multilayer substrate configured for mounting an integrated circuit; a microstrip line formed in one of the layers of the multilayer substrate, wherein the microstrip line is formed parallel to a ground plane element that is located in another one of the layers of the multilayer substrate; and a metallic waveguide mounted on the multilayer substrate, wherein the metallic waveguide has a rectangular portion formed by a top, bottom and sides with an open end configured to receive a core member of a dielectric waveguide, and an opposite tapered end formed by declining an extended portion of the top of the metallic waveguide past the bottom of the metallic waveguide and down to contact the multilayer substrate, wherein a pinnacle of the tapered end is coupled to the ground plane element, and wherein the bottom of the metallic waveguide is in contact with the multilayer substrate and coupled to the microstrip line.
