With continued reference to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate layer signal transmission line 2121 of the "waveguide-stripline" and the waveguide reflection cavity 3 form a transmission structure of the "waveguide-stripline", so as to complete the conversion of the signal from the external air waveguide 6 to the internal transmission line, the dimensions of the transmission line 2121 are matched according to different frequency bands, such as different line widths of 0.1mm,0.15mm,0.2mm, etc., and the specific dimensions of the branch length and width also need to be adapted according to different frequencies, such as 0.3 x 0.5mm,0.5 x 1.0mm, etc., and in the embodiment of the present invention, the preferred transmission length and width is 0.1 x 2mm, and the branch length and width is 0.45 x 0.9mm.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows simulation results of a "waveguide-microstrip line" design adopted in the existing design, and the difference between the simulation results and the scheme of the present invention is that the signal transmission line in the existing design is a metal line layer on the upper surface, the waveguide reflection cavity needs to avoid an opening design for the transmission line, and as can be seen from fig. 5, the S11 standing wave effect of the whole link is good, but the insertion loss S21 effect is poor, so that the signal transmission line cannot be used; the main reason for this result is that the molding compound is in direct contact with the transmission line, and the design of the opening left by the waveguide reflective cavity also fills the molding compound, so that the absorption of the signal by the molding compound causes the loss of the signal to be extremely large in the transmission process.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 shows simulation results of a waveguide-stripline structure in the embodiment of the present invention, and simulation data shows that the standing wave S11 and the insertion loss S21 are very good, especially in the range of 75 GHz-81 GHz in the frequency band used in the embodiment of the present invention, the standing wave S11< -12dB and the insertion loss S21<0.8dB.
