Abstract:
A method of making a microwave microstrip/waveguide transition structure, comprising the steps of:providing a substrate; depositing an elongated metallic layer on the substrate, a first length of the metallic layer comprising a microwave microstrip portion and a second length of the metallic layer comprising microwave waveguide portion; and depositing a metallic hollow microwave waveguide housing upon, continuous with, and integral with the microwave waveguide portion of the first length of the metallic layer, thereby defining a metallic hollow microwave waveguide bounded by the microwave waveguide portion of the metallic layer and the metallic hollow microwave housing and having a contained volume therewithin, the microwave waveguide being integral with the microwave microstrip portion of the metallic layer.
