            Abstract : 
In this paper, an E-plane coupling structure through the slotline on the ground plane for quasi-optical oscillator arrays is proposed. This coupling structure can be easily expanded to a two-dimensional planar array system and eliminates the distortion due to the spurious radiation from the coupling structure. The coupling strength is analyzed with slot width, length, offset position and number of slotlines
