Abstract:
A method for coupling a signal between a first circuit board and a second circuit board, the first circuit board having a first signal conductor formed therein, the second circuit board having a second signal conductor formed therein, the first signal conductor being shielded by a first electrically conductive shield, the second signal conductor being shielded by a second electrically conductive shield, the method comprising the steps of:forming a first opening in the first electrically conductive shield so as to expose the first signal conductor in the first circuit board; forming a second opening in the second electrically conductive shield so as to expose the second signal conductor in the second circuit board; and positioning the first circuit board and the second circuit board such that the first opening and the second opening are aligned and a signal propagating along the first signal conductor is electromagnetically coupled to the second signal conductor.
