Abstract
This paper presents the design of two in-line transitions operating in Q-band for radioastronomy or satellite applications. Both employ the WR-22 rectangular waveguide. The first transition involves as end-launcher a microstrip line, the second a coaxial cable. Focus of the works is to obtain a design which simplifies the geometrical configuration by keeping a reasonable compactness and without affecting the transversal space occupation, while ensuring a good matching (return loss higher 24 dB in both cases). The performance are evaluated in terms of scattering parameters.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
