Patent ID: 6980068

Claim:
A system for electrically interconnecting high-frequency transmission lines, comprising: a first transmission line comprising a multilayer circuit board having a ground pattern and a first signal line which jointly make up a stripline or a microstrip line; and a second transmission line having a second signal line and an electrode electrically connected to the second signal line; said first transmission line having a cut via defined in an end thereof and connected to said first signal line of said stripline or said microstrip line, said cut via formed by cutting a via hole; said first transmission line having a clearance defined between said cut via and said ground pattern for providing an impedance matching between characteristic impedances of said first and second transmission lines; said cut via of said first transmission line and said electrode of said second transmission line being connected to each other, said first and second transmission lines having ground conductors connected to each other, wherein said ground pattern has sleeves disposed outside of said clearance and spaced a distance from each other and extending outwardly with said cut via disposed therebetween, and wherein said second transmission line comprises a coaxial cable having an outer conductor and a central conductor disposed therein as said second signal line, said distance being provided by a gap corresponding to the diameter of said outer conductor to hold said outer conductor between said sleeves, said central conductor having a bare wire strip serving as said electrode, said outer conductor being inserted in the gap between said sleeves and connected to said sleeves, said bare wire strip of said central conductor being connected to said cut via.
