Abstract:
A conductive-transmission-line waveguide converter comprising:a waveguide for transmitting an electromagnetic wave; a wiring board brought into contact with a first side of said waveguide opposite to a second side of said waveguide for inputting an electromagnetic wave, being oriented perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of said waveguide; a first probe disposed directly on an area on said wiring board inside said waveguide for taking in a first linearly polarized wave; and a second probe disposed directly on an area on said wiring board inside said waveguide for taking in a second linearly polarized wave perpendicular to said first linearly polarized wave; wherein: said first probe and said second probe are respectively created along mutually perpendicular first and second axis lines, which both pass through a cross point of said wiring board and the longitudinal axis of said waveguide; and a first center line passing through the middle of each transversal line segment of said first probe is shifted from said first axis line and a second center line passing through the middle of each transversal line segment of said second probe is shifted from said second axis line in such a way that, on said wiring board, said first probe is farther separated away from said second probe.
