Microwave Connector Assembly

A microwave transmission assembly, comprising:

• a dielectric waveguide having a waveguide end;
• a microwave connector assembly including a waveguide ferrule having a receiving end receiving the dielectric waveguide, a connecting end distal to the receiving end, and a locking member, and a ferrule socket at least partially receiving the waveguide ferrule in a ferrule receptacle, the ferrule socket engaging in a locking connection with the locking member, the ferrule socket having a coding member engaging a complementary coding member of the waveguide ferrule only when the waveguide ferrule is positioned relative to the ferrule socket in a single predetermined angular position or in one of two predetermined angular positions that are rotated by 180° with respect to each other;
• and
• a microwave emitter disposed on a flat side of a circuit board, the microwave emitter has a microwave antenna with a radiation pattern that is at least partially directed towards the waveguide end, the waveguide end is located on the flat side of the circuit board.
