Abstract:
1. An arrangement for a junction between a microstripline and a waveguide, comprising: a microstripline which is fitted on an upper face of a dielectric substrate; a waveguide which is fitted on the upper face of the substrate and has an opening on at least one end surface thereof and has a structure which is in the form of a step or steps in the area of the opening on one side wall and is conductively connected in at least one part to the microstripline, and wherein the one side wall of the waveguide is a metallized layer disposed on the substrate; a cutout which is disposed in the metallized layer and into which the microstripline projects; rear-face metallization which is disposed on a rear face of the substrate; and electrically conductive via holes between the metallized layer on the upper face of the substrate and the rear-face metallization, which surround the cutout.
