  • Abstract
    A compact broadband microstrip to slotline transition is designed and experimentally studied. An elliptical tapered profile and patches are used to minimise the discontinuity effect of field variation from microstrip to slotline within a short range. A prototype of the back-to-back version transition is also fabricated. Measured results validate the design concept.
