Abstract
An ultra wideband interconnect from an external cable to an electric circuit. The interconnect includes an external cable including an external cable pin that projects from the termination of the external cable, an internal circuit, a conductive media coupled to the external cable pin and the internal circuit, and a package wall positioned between the external cable and the internal circuit. The package wall includes a cavity extending between the external cable and the internal circuit, the cavity having a coaxial structure. Further, the pin extends into but not through the cavity. The conductive media is coupled to the external cable pin within the cavity.
Claims20
An interconnect for an electric circuit, comprising:
- an external cable including an external cable pin projecting from the termination of the external cable;
- an internal circuit housed inside a package having a wall;
- an aperture in the package wall, the aperture housing a receptacle, a connector and a cavity, wherein the external cable pin passes through the receptacle to electrically couple the external cable pin to a first conductive pin of the connector;
- and
- a conductive media for electrically coupling a second conductive pin of the connector to the internal circuit, the conductive media positioned to couple with the second conductive pin within he cavity.
An ultra wideband interconnect for electrically coupling an external cable to an internal circuit, comprising:
- a coaxial cavity in a package wall for receiving a conductive pin from a connector, and
- a conductive media for coupling the conductive pin from a connector to a circuit trace on an internal circuit, the conductive media being positioned to couple with the conductive pin within the cavity.
A method for providing an ultra-wideband interconnect between an external cable and an internal circuit, comprising:
- providing an internal circuit including a circuit trace for receiving a data transmission enclosed in a package having a wall, wherein the wall includes an aperture defining a cavity;
- providing a connector including a conductive pin assembly for sending a data transmission electrically coupled to an external cable, wherein the connector is housed within the wall such that the conductive pin extends into the cavity;
- coupling a conductive media to the conductive pin within the cavity;
- and
- coupling the conductive media to the circuit face so as to electrically couple the conductive pin to the circuit trace.
