An integrated connector-antenna assembly is provided, wherein an antenna is monolithically integrated with a radio frequency (RF) connector housing. The connector-antenna assembly may also include the RF signal element, wherein the connector center pin is monolithically integrated to the connector housing. Although part of the connector-antenna assembly, the connector housing and connector signal element still serve the connector function, which is essentially a channel for RF signal from the RF signal source to the antenna.

Monolithic antenna integrated radio frequency connector

A transparent wireless bridge for providing access to an optical fiber network comprises a first transceiver outside a building and configured to transmit/receive communication signals to and from the optical fiber network. A first glass sheet attached to an outer side of a window comprises a first antenna communicatively coupled to the first transceiver and configured to transmit and receive communication signals to and from the first transceiver. A second glass sheet is attached to an inner side of the window and comprises a second antenna configured to wirelessly transmit and receive communication signals to and from the first antenna. The wireless bridge also includes a second transceiver located inside the building that is communicatively coupled to the second antenna and configured to wirelessly transmit and receive data to and from the second antenna. The wireless bridge may also be used in conjunction with a wireless drop system.

A variable impedance interface device connecting a coaxial connector to an external component with a housing having a first end adapted to receive a coaxial connector and a second end having an interface where the housing is attachable to an external component, such as a printed circuit board. A cavity within the housing is defined by an inner surface and has a cavity first end and a cavity second end. The inner surface tapers between the cavity first end and the cavity second end. A mating position in the cavity has a certain dimension due to the taper of the inner surface, and defines a location at which a coaxial connector received by the housing positions. An impedance of the housing is based on the mating position and may be varied due to the impedance of the interface such that signal degradation at the interface is reduced.

Controlled-impedance out-of-substrate package structures employing electrical devices and related assemblies, components, and methods are disclosed. An out-of-substrate package structure may be used to electrically couple an electrical device to an electrical substrate, for example a printed circuit board. The out-of-substrate package structure may be electrically coupled to the electrical substrate. Ground paths of the out-of-substrate package structure may be arranged proximate to the electrical device and arranged symmetric with respect to at least one geometric plane intersecting the electrical device. In this regard, electric field lines generated by current flowing into the electrical device tend to terminate at the return or ground paths allowing for impedance to be more easily controlled. Accordingly, the out-of-substrate package structure may be impedance matched in a better way with respect to power provided from the electrical substrate enabling faster electrical device speeds.
