Patent ID: 11258153

Abstract:
The invention relates to a coupling and decoupling device between a circuit carrier and a waveguide. The coupling and decoupling device contains a retaining element, which has a first end for coupling to the circuit carrier and a second end for coupling to the waveguide. Two dipole antennas, which are crossed over and oriented orthogonally to each other, are arranged between the first end and the second end. The coupling and decoupling device furthermore contains two conductor pairs, which are arranged crossed over each other and are designed such that the conductor pairs are connected to the two dipole antennas and to associated contact surfaces on the circuit carrier. According to the invention, an electrically conductive layer is fixed on the first end. The retaining element is formed as a hollow conductor having a first opening on the end face of the hollow conductor for coupling to the circuit carrier and a second opening on the end face of the hollow conductor for coupling to the waveguide. The first opening on the end face is closed by the electrically conductive layer.
