Surface mountable microwave signal Transition block for microstrip to perpendicular waveguide transition

摘要

A surface mountable transition block (10) for perpendicular transitions between a microstrip (16) or stripline and a waveguide (20). The transition block (10) configuration allows for a reduction in the overall cost of a microwave circuit assembly (12) because the circuit board (14) to which the transition block (10) is attached can be an FR-4 type circuit board (14) as opposed to more expensive microwave circuit board (14) materials.
