Abstract :
A transition from Microstrip to Ridge Gap Waveguide (RGW) has been studied and numerically analyzed in terms of S parameters. The RGW technology shows potential to be used up to THz frequencies. Therefore, good transitions are needed in order to make possible the measurements of RGW components at frequencies above 100 GHz.
