Abstract
A connector comprises a coaxial connector and a metallic plate. The coaxial connector has an outer conductor, a dielectric material, a mounting wall, and a center conductor. The space between the two conductors is filled with the dielectric material. The center conductor is extended from the inside of the coaxial connector to the other side of the mounting wall. The metallic plate has a through hole and is attached to the mounting wall of the coaxial connector. The outside center conductor of the coaxial connector is placed within the through hole. Hence, the connector improves the transmission passband of the transition between a coaxial line and a microstrip line at high frequencies.
Claims16
A connector, used for connecting a coaxial line 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, and two slots cut on one side of the microstrip line for the connection with the connector and separated by the signal line, and the ground plane underneath the substrate between the two slots removed, and the connector comprising:
- a coaxial connector, having an outer conductor, a dielectric material, a mounting wall, and a center conductor with the space between the two conductors filled with the dielectric material and the center conductor extended from the inside of the coaxial connector to the outside of the mounting wall;
- and
- a metallic plate, having a through hole with the extended center conductor placed within it and to be attached to the mounting wall;
- wherein the coaxial connector is used to connect the coaxial line, and the through hole provides the space for the insertion of the ground plane-removed microstrip line between the two slots, and the two slots are designed to facilitate the metallic plate to encircle the ground plane-removed microstrip line, and the center conductor is in direct contact with the signal line, and the metallic plate is electrically connected to the ground plane of the microstrip line.
