Patent ID: 8848389

Claim:
A transmission device comprising: a first signal processing board operable to process a millimeter wave signal; a second signal processing board (i) signal-coupled to the first signal processing board, (ii) operable to receive the millimeter wave signal, and (iii) operable to perform signal processing with respect to the millimeter wave signal; and a support member provided between the first signal processing board and the second signal processing board, wherein, the support member (i) provides a dielectric transmission path between the first signal processing board and the second signal processing board, (ii) protrudes from opposing sides of each of the first signal processing board and the second signal processing board,(iii) supports the first signal processing board and the second signal processing board, and (iv) includes a cutout in an end portion of the support member, the cutout partially defined by edges of the support member extending through one of the first signal processing board and the second signal processing board.
