A comppact waveguide to microstrip transition to be used for measurements of the performances of the U-band MMIC power amplifier is designed and fabricated. A Tchebyscheff ${\lambda}$/4 impedence transformer is adopted as an impedence converter of the transition. The designed transition is optimized to get Su less then -28dB over the 40-to-48GHZ band using Supper Compact program. The measured results shows that insertion loss and return loss are typically 0.3 and 25dB respectively over 40-to-47GHz.
