Patent ID: 6894582

Claim:
A microwave device comprising: a circuit board comprising a microstrip layer, a ground plane, and at least one dielectric layer therebetween; a coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor and a shield conductor surrounding said inner conductor, said inner conductor having an end extending longitudinally outwardly from an adjacent end of said shield conductor; said circuit board having a T-shaped shield receiving slot therein longitudinally receiving the end of said shield conductor and a transverse portion; said microstrip layer comprising an inner conductor contact adjacent said T-shaped shield receiving slot and connected to the end of said inner conductor; a conductive layer in said T-shaped shield receiving slot and connecting said shield conductor to said ground plane; and a mounting fixture in the T-shaped shield receiving slot and connecting the end of said shield conductor to said circuit board, said mounting fixture comprising a tubular body, an enlarged diameter end flange connected to said tubular body, and at least one mounting tab extending longitudinally outwardly from said end flange and contacting said circuit board.
