Patent ID: 8914968

Claim:
A method for constructing millimeter-waves laminate structures using Printed Circuit Board (PCB) processes, comprising: creating a first pressed laminate structure comprising at least two laminas and a cavity, the cavity shaped as an aperture of a waveguide, and extending perpendicularly through all of the at least two laminas of the laminate structure; plating the cavity with electrically conductive plating, using a PCB plating process; and pressing the first pressed laminate structure, together with at least two additional laminas comprising a probe printed on one of the at least two additional laminas and wherein another of the at least two additional laminas is a prepreg bonding lamina, into a PCB comprising the first pressed laminate structure and the at least two additional laminas, such that the cavity is sealed only from one end by the prepreg bonding lamina, the probe is positioned above the cavity, and the prepreg bonding lamina is bonding the first pressed laminate structure having the cavity together with the one of at least two additional laminas on which the probe is printed.
