From 16 to 28 GHz, the measured reflection coefficient at the coaxial SMA input, used for test purposes of the adapter, was less than -14 dB, and the dissipative loss was about 0.30 dB. The estimated loss of the waveguide to microstrip transition only, with coaxial connector effects removed, is of about 0.08 dB.ELETTRONICOenArticle10.1002/mop.22558https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mop.22558ING-INF/01 - ELETTRONICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering
