Abstract
A RF interconnect comprising a dielectric resonator is disclosed. The dielectric resonator may be included in an interconnect housing. The dielectric resonator includes metalized side surfaces useful for securing the dielectric resonator in an aperture formed in the interconnect housing. The dimensions or material selected for the dielectric resonator may be predetermined to enable the dielectric resonator to operate as a filter or waveguide, as desired.
