A wideband, low loss probe transition from rectangular waveguide to microstrip is presented. This transition efficiently couples energy from a microstrip line to a TE10 waveguide. This structure requires no mechanical pressure for electrical contact between the microstrip probe and the waveguide because the main planar circuitry and waveguide sections are placed on a single housing. This waveguide to microstrip probe transition is designed, simulated and optimized on alumina substrate. Optimization of the designed transition is carried out using 3-D finite element method solver HFSS by Ansoft Corporation. The simulated result has return loss better than 15 dB and insertion loss is less than 0.32 dB over 45-65 GHz frequency range.
