Abstract :
The realization of a wideband, ground-plane DC block and bias feed for microstrip transmission lines operating in Ka-band, 26.5-40.0 GHz, is described. The waveguide-to-microstrip fixture and transition used for testing are described. Analysis of the ground-plane bias gap structure is provided. A few possible applications are discussed
