Connector device

摘要

A connector device is provided in the form of a main body component having a lower surface covered with a conductive layer to provide a ground plane and an upper surface carrying a conductive strip portion to form a microstrip line. The combination of the first conductive surface region (ground plane) and second conductive surface region (microstrip line) separated by the main body component dielectric forms a microstrip section. The conductive layer and strip portion are each connected to a conductor of co-axial feed cable. The device is inserted between conductive layers of an antenna of laminar construction, such as a planar inverted F antenna to establish electrical connection between conductors of the feed cable and conductive layers of the antenna.
