A millimeter-wave transition from a waveguide to two microstrip lines and the design methodology are proposed. A rectangular patch element in a short-terminated waveguide is analyzed by the cavity model of a patch antenna and the dyadic Green's function of the waveguide. The analysis points out that the rectangular patch element has an optimum width for wideband, which only has the function of the broad wall width of the waveguide. The transition also works as a divider. A numerical investigation of a transition having two microstrip lines validates the analytical model in terms of wideband, and indicates that the distance between the two microstrip lines has an optimum length for suppressing higher order modes. A prototype transition exhibits an insertion loss of 0.5 dB from 76 to 77 GHz, and a bandwidth of 6.9% (5.29 GHz) for the reflection coefficient below -15 dB for the waveguide port
