Electromagnetic stripline transmission line structure

An electromagnetic compatibility test facility comprising:

• a ground surface;
• and
• a transmission line structure disposed on the ground surface, the transmission line structure having a first transition element having a radio frequency injection port, a second transition element spaced from the first transition element and having a radio frequency termination port, and an active element in electrical communication with the first transition element and the second transition element,
• wherein the active element includes a first connection region where the active element is attached to the first transition element and wherein the first connection region is configured to reduce reflection of electromagnetic energy.
