Abstract
A planar mode converter includes a rectangular waveguide, a microstrip feed-in circuit, and a microstrip feed-out circuit. The rectangular waveguide is filled with dielectric layers and surrounded with metal materials. The lowermost dielectric layer has usually largest thickness and dielectric constant. Except for the lowermost dielectric layer, each of the dielectric layers has a rectangular aperture at its front-end and back-end, respectively. The microstrip feed-in circuit is constituted by first, second and third metal strips, and a feed-in metal ground plane. The first metal strip and the feed-in metal ground plane form a feed-in signal line. The first, second and third metal strips are adhered to the top surface of the lowermost dielectric layer, and the feed-in metal ground plane is adhered to the bottom surface of the lowermost dielectric layer. The microstrip feed-out circuit is constituted of fourth, fifth and sixth metal strips, and a feed-out metal ground plane. The sixth metal strip and the feed-out metal strip form a feed-out signal line.
