Summary:An inline microstrip-to-waveguide transition covering the full W-Band is presented in this article. The verification of the simulation results has been carried out by means of a back-to-back transition measurement. Experimental results show good return losses above 15 dB in the entire W-Band and also low insertion losses. Specifically, the measured insertion losses are 0.71 dB at the central frequency of W-Band, i.e., 92.5 GHz, and below 1.1 dB in the full W-band.
