Coaxial-to-coplanar-waveguide transmission line connector using integrated slabline transition

摘要

A coaxial-to-coplanar-waveguide connector that incorporates a slabline section within the coaxial connector interface between a circular-coaxial- transmission-line-to-coplanar-waveguide transmission line. As RF energy enters a circular coaxial input, the slabline section shapes the electromagnetic field distribution to more closely resemble that of coplanar waveguide at the output. The slabline section provides better field matching from the circular coaxial transmission line to the coplanar waveguide transmission line. Angular bends and lateral offsets can readily be incorporated in the connector.
