Abstract:
A method for interfacing a coaxial connector to a coplanar waveguide, the method comprising:supplying a coaxial connector having a center conductor, a ground, and a dielectric interposed between the center conductor and the ground; supplying a substrate surface with a coplanar waveguide having a transmission line interposed between groundplanes; supplying a housing wall assembly with a coaxial connector aperture; mounting the coaxial connector ground to the wall assembly; connecting the coaxial connector center conductor to the coplanar waveguide transmission line, through the aperture; connecting the coplanar waveguide groundplanes to the wall assembly; and, in response to the groundplane/wall assembly connections, supplying a ground common the both the substrate and the coaxial connector.
