Patent ID: 8152534

Claim:
A connector, used for connecting a coaxial cable and a microstrip line with the microstrip line having a signal line, a substrate, and a ground plane, and the signal line on one side of the substrate and the ground plane on the other side of the substrate, wherein the ground plane of the microstrip line inserted into the connector is removed, and two via arrays are embedded into the substrate between a first metallic block and a second metallic block of the connector and placed parallel and symmetrical to the signal line, the connector comprising: a coaxial connector, including an outer conductor, a dielectric material, a mounting wall, and a center conductor, wherein a space between the outer conductor and the center conductor is filled with the dielectric material, and the center conductor extends from an inside of the coaxial connector to another side of the mounting wall; the first metallic block, having a first recess being a portion of a circular through hole in a metallic plate and located in a middle of a first inner side of the first metallic block, attached to the mounting wall; and the second metallic block, having a second recess being another portion of the circular through hole and located in a middle of a second inner side of the second metallic block, attached to the mounting wall, and with the first inner side and the second inner side separated by a certain distance and face-to-face oriented, and the extended center conductor placed between the first recess and the second recess; wherein the coaxial connector is used to connect the coaxial cable, and a portion of the microstrip line with the ground plane removed is inserted between the first inner side and the second inner side, and the two via arrays are embedded into the substrate between the first inner side and the second inner side, and the center conductor is in direct contact with the signal line, and the outer conductor, the mounting wall, the first metallic block, and the second metallic block are electrically connected to the ground plane of the microstrip line; wherein the two via arrays include a number of via holes evenly distributed in the substrate between the first inner side and the second inner side, and a distance between the two via arrays is at least one of less than, equal to, and greater than twice a value of a radius of the circular through hole.
