Abstract
For associating different technologies of a microstrip line and of a rectangular waveguide, for example on a ceramic, in a transition device including a mode transformer between the line integrated into a printed circuit board, and the waveguide, the board includes a housing containing the waveguide with a large sidewall coplanar and coaxial to the strip of the line and another large sidewall fixed onto a metallic layer of the board at the bottom of the housing. A linking metallic element bridges a mechanical tolerance gap between the transformer and one of the line and the waveguide. The transformer can be integrated into the board, or into the waveguide in a microwave component.
