A 340–380 GHz Integrated CB-CPW-to-Waveguide Transition for Sub Millimeter-Wave MMIC Packaging

Abstract
In this letter, a rectangular waveguide to conductor backed-coplanar waveguide electromagnetic transition suitable of operating at sub-millimeter wave frequencies is demonstrated. The dipole based transition is fabricated using InP monolithic microwave integrated circuit technology. The compact transition eliminates wire-bonding problems (return loss and insertion loss) and is suitable for direct integration of sub-millimeter wave monolithic integrated circuits. Measured transition loss of ~1 dB has been achieved in the frequency range of 340 to 380 GHz.
