MICROSTRIP TO WAVEGUIDE TRANSITION ARRANGEMENT

The present invention relates to a transmission line to waveguide transition arrangement comprising a dielectric carrier material arrangement having a first main side and a second main side, the arrangement comprising a transition portion with an opening, having at least one edge and an electrically conducting border which follows the opening and is electrically connected to a ground metalization on the second main side. A transmission line conductor extends in the dielectric carrier material arrangement towards the border. The arrangement further comprises a transitional part with a border contact section having an outer circumference that essentially follows the border's shape except for a gap dividing the border contact section. The transitional part further comprises a conductor contact section which protrudes from the border contact section through the gap, contacting the end of the transmission line conductor and extending into the opening.
