Abstract
In this paper we characterized and designed the waveguide antipodal finline transition at 57-65GHz frequency band in V-band for 5G mobile communication systems. Especially, we proposed the design method of spline taper for finline tapers by means of increasing curvature from linear taper. We could perform optimization more effectively by excluding improper regions for optimal performance from optimization using the method. Return losses and insertion losses of antipodal finline transitions were mainly affected by the taper shape of the finline. The resonances in the structure of the finline transition were the strongest enemies who deteriorate the performance of the transition. And we alleviated the resonances using semicircle shaped patch. The designed antipodal finline transition showed good performance as it showed less than -24.2dB of return loss and -0.24dB of insertion loss in the band(57-65GHz) which we suppose to use.
