VERTICAL MICROCOAXIAL INTERCONNECTS

摘要

In one embodiment, a vertical microcoaxial interconnect includes a dielectric substrate having a top side and a bottom side, an inner conductor extending through the substrate from its top side to its bottom side, an outer conductor that extends through the substrate from its top side to its bottom side, the outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor, a signal line extending to the inner conductor without contacting the outer conductor, and a ground line extending to the outer conductor without contacting the inner conductor or the signal line.

1. A vertical microcoaxial interconnect comprising:
a dielectric substrate having a top side and a bottom side; an inner conductor extending through the substrate from its top side to its bottom side; an outer conductor that extends through the substrate from its top side to its bottom side, the outer conductor comprising first and second generally C-shaped lateral portions whose ends are separated by opposed gaps and that concentrically encircle the inner connector; a signal line extending to the inner conductor without contacting the outer conductor; and a ground line extending to the outer conductor without contacting the inner conductor or the signal line.
