Abstract :
A novel transition between two co-planar waveguides is introduced. The CPW transmission lines are placed in two different layers of a multi-layer PCB and connected through metallic vias. The transition shows an insertion loss better than 0.8 dB for the whole microwave V band. That makes it suitable to be used in standard 60 GHz millimeter wave communication systems.
