A vialess vertical microstrip‐to‐coplanar waveguide (CPW) transition that covers a multioctave bandwidth is proposed. The proposed transition utilizes the magnetic coupling in a pair of mcirostrip‐to‐slotline transitions derived from the microstrip/CPW structure. The presented device is designed following simple design guidelines. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed transition can achieve a six‐octave bandwidth. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
