  • Broadband uniplanar coplanar transition
    Patent number: 6734755
    Abstract: A broadband interconnection device (10) used for interconnection between a first transmission line (100) and a second transmission line (200), has a substrate (300) with the first transmission line (100) defined at a first side (310) on a first surface (320), the first transmission line (100) including a signal conductor (120) and at least one ground conductor (121 or 122), a signal conductor (220) of the second transmission line (200) defined on an opposite side (340) of the first surface (310), and a ground plane (260) of the second transmission line (200) on an opposed surface (360), the signal conductor (120) of the first transmission line (100) being electrically connected to the signal conductor (220) of the second transmission line (200) on the first surface (320). On the opposed surface (360), the ground plane (260) of the second transmission line (200), has at least one protrusion (261) aligned with the signal conductor (120) of the first transmission line (100).
