Connector for coupling coaxial cable to strip line

Abstract

A connector for coupling a coaxial cable (240) to a strip line comprises a first plate (210) to be arranged above a conductor (220) of the strip line to which a center conductor (244) of the coaxial cable (240) is soldered, the first plate (210) including: a first solder portion (212) to which a braid (242) of the coaxial cable (240) is soldered; and an aperture (214) formed adjacent to the first solder portion (212) and configured to prevent heat propagation of a solder point of the first solder portion (212) and the braid (242) of the coaxial cable (240) and to expose a solder point of the conductor (220) of the strip line and the center conductor (244) of the coaxial cable (240), wherein a biggest dimension of the aperture (214) is shaped to be less than 5% of highest frequency wavelength.
