VERTICAL INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN COAXIAL AND RECTANGULAR COAXIAL TRANSMISSION LINE BY COMPRESSIBLE CENTRAL DRIVERS.

摘要

An RF interconnection between a coaxial transmission line that includes a coaxial central conductor and a dielectric structure with a cross-sectional configuration coupled around the coaxial central conductor, and an RF circuit, such as a coaxial transmission line or a guide Earth-connected coplanar waves, vertically separated from the coaxial transmission line by a separation distance, wherein the RF interconnection comprises a compressible conductor structure that has an uncompressed length that exceeds the separation distance; a dielectric sleeve structure that surrounds at least a portion of the uncompressed length of the compressible conductor structure having said dielectric sleeve structure having a circular cross-sectional configuration.
