Abstract :
A novel microstrip-to-waveguide transition utilizing a coplanar strips Yagi-like antenna is presented. The X-band transition demonstrates about 40% bandwidth with return loss better than -12 dB. This transition should find wide applications due to its high compatibility with MIC/MMIC technology at very low fabrication cost.
