In-line coaxial circuit assembly

An in-line coaxial circuit assembly, comprising:

• a first portion having a first electrical connector interface on a first end;
• a second portion having a second electrical connector interface on a second end;
• the first portion and a second portion adapted to couple together along an outer wall of at least one of the first portion and the second portion;
• a cylindrical outer conductor sleeve coaxial with the outer wall formed in at least one of the first portion and the second portion;
• the coupling of the first portion and the second portion operating to form a generally enclosed cylindrical PCB chamber between the outer conductor sleeve and the outer wall;
• and a PCB positioned within the PCB chamber.

A method for manufacturing an in-line coaxial circuit assembly, comprising the steps of:

• forming a first portion having a first electrical connector interface on a first end;
• forming a second portion having a second electrical connector interface on a second end;
• at least one of the first portion and the second portion having a cylindrical outer conductor sleeve coaxial with an outer wall of at least one of the first portion and the second portion;
• positioning an inner conductor coaxial within the outer conductor sleeve, the inner conductor extending between the first electrical connector interface and the second electrical connector interface;
• inserting a PCB into a PCB chamber between the outer wall and the outer conductor section;
• coupling the PCB to the inner conductor through a slot in the outer conductor section;
• and
• coupling the first portion and the second portion together along the outer wall;
• the coupling of the first portion and the second portion generally enclosing the cylindrical PCB chamber between the outer conductor sleeve and the outer wall.
