Abstract
Enhanced components and assemblies for connector-less radio frequency (RF) interconnect systems are provided. One example includes two circuit boards each with a broadside coupling feature comprising a tapered circuit board trace having a terminal portion. The circuit boards are positioned in close proximity to establish a desired gap, and a dielectric material is positioned within the gap between circuit boards. The broadside coupling features of the circuit boards are then configured to convey RF signals over the gap without electrical contact.
