The invention relates to the technical field of
microwave and
millimeter wave circuits, and discloses an LTCC-based strip line-to-substrate integrated
waveguide transition structure, which comprises a top
metal layer, a strip line substrate, a middle
metal layer, a substrate integrated
waveguide substrate and a bottom
metal layer which are sequentially stacked from top to bottom. A strip line conductor and a matching patch are arranged in the strip line substrate, and a
coupling slot is formed in the middle metal layer. According to the invention, the metalized
coupling probe which vertically extends downwards is arranged in the center of the matching patch, so that the metalized
coupling probe passes through the coupling slot and extends into the substrate integrated
waveguide, and efficient vertical coupling of electromagnetic energy is realized. The coupling slotted hole is preferably in the shape of a lock hole, so that the process tolerance is improved. According to the invention, the LTCC multi-layer technology is used for
integrated manufacturing, the structure is compact, the W
wave band (75110 GHz) is operated, the advantages of wide
frequency band, low
insertion loss, high integration level and good technology compatibility are realized, and the LTCC multi-layer
microwave filter is suitable for high-frequency
millimeter wave communication and
radar systems.
