Abstract :
Two new coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide couplers with coupling through a post and a slot are experimentally demonstrated. The couplers operate over the Ku-band transmission and X-band reception frequencies that are designated for satellite communications. The measured insertion loss and return loss are about 1 dB and 10 dB, respectively, for both couplers.
