SURFACE MOUNT MICROWAVE SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a surface mount microwave system, comprising a multilayer arrangement (101) comprising a first conductive layer (103), a second conductive layer (105) and a dielectric layer (107), wherein the first conductive layer (103) is arranged on the dielectric layer (107), and wherein the dielectric layer (107) is arranged on the second conductive layer (105), wherein the first conductive layer (103) comprises a microwave circuit (109) and wherein the second conductive layer (105) forms a reference potential layer, a hollow microwave waveguide (111) being at least partly formed in the second conductive layer (105), and a microwave transition structure (113) for electromagnetically coupling the first conductive layer (103) with the hollow microwave waveguide (111). According to some implementation forms, a reflector on a cover covering the multilayer arrangement (101) may be avoided.
