A device comprises a package substrate and a ball grid array (BGA). The package substrate encapsulates an integrated circuit die and comprises a signal launch configured to emit or receive a signal on a surface of the package substrate. The BGA is affixed to the surface and comprises a set of grounded solder balls arranged as a boundary around the signal launch. The device may further comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate having a waveguide interface side opposite a secondary waveguide side and a through-hole cavity that extends from the waveguide interface side to the secondary waveguide side, perpendicular to a plane of the PCB substrate. The BGA couples the package substrate to the waveguide interface side such that the surface of the package substrate faces the through-hole cavity and the signal launch and through-hole cavity are substantially aligned.
