Line bridging element for two microstrip lines and method

A method for manufacturing a line bridging element for two microstrip lines, each of which are configured for conducting electromagnetic waves having a wavelength in the millimeter wavelength range, the method comprising:

• arranging one first coupling point in the first microstrip line, which couples a first line-conducted electromagnetic wave carried in the first microstrip line, into a dielectric resonator;
• arranging one second coupling point opposite the first coupling point, the second coupling point decoupling the electromagnetic wave coupled into the dielectric resonator from the dielectric resonator into the first microstrip line;
• and
• arranging the dielectric resonator on top of the first coupling point and the second coupling point;
• wherein the line bridging element includes:
• the dielectric resonator;
• the first coupling point to couple one first line-conducted electromagnetic wave, which is carried in the first microstrip line, into the dielectric resonator;
• and
• the second coupling point to decouple the first electromagnetic wave coupled into the dielectric resonator from the dielectric resonator into the first microstrip line;
• interrupting the first microstrip line between the first and the second coupling points;
• and
• arranging the second microstrip line such that the second microstrip line runs under the dielectric resonator, between the first and the second coupling points and across an entire width of a printed circuit board on which the first microstrip line, the second microstrip line, the first coupling point, and the second coupling points are arranged.
