Abstract
An apparatus includes a first conductive patch coupled to a first surface of a dielectric layer, a second conductive patch coupled to a second surface of the dielectric layer, and a probe coupled to the second conductive patch. The apparatus further includes a waveguide having a wall conductively coupled to the first conductive patch. Responsive to a signal provided to the second conductive patch by the probe, interaction of the waveguide, the first conductive patch, and the second conductive patch generates a transmission signal that propagates in the waveguide.
