Abstract :
A novel fully planar transition between two microstrip lines with side changed metallisation patterns is presented. This transition is suited to connecting a planar antenna to hermetically sealed integrated circuits. The measured return loss between 36 and 40 GHz was 20 dB. A broader operating bandwidth can be expected.
