Abstract
A microwave frequency transmission line provides the capability of solderless interconnections between stacked microwave hybrid and printed wiring board (PWB) assemblies. A wire-like transmission line is embedded in a dielectric and placed in an open square trough. A compressible center conductor is realized by densely packing thin wire into an opening in the supporting dielectric to form the compressible center conductor. A vertical right angle bend transition uses the transmission line to interconnect between grounded coplanar waveguide (CPWG) transmission lines. This orthogonal transition uses button spring contacts, thus creating a reusable solderless vertical interconnection between the two transmission lines. This transition can operate from DC to greater than 15 GHz with good match and low loss, and allows a transition from a CPWG transmission line on a first substrate to another CPWG transmission line on a second substrate stacked above the first substrate.
