Abstract
A signal transition device such as a coplanar waveguide launch package is disclosed. The coplanar waveguide launch package has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is adapted to receive electrical signals from a conductive wire. The received signals terminate proximal to a launch at a first surface of the first portion. The second portion, connected to the first portion, has a support surface at a substantially normal angle. The support surface of the second portion is adapted to support a coplanar waveguide. Because the coplanar waveguide launch package of the present invention does not require removing of bottom portions of the coplanar waveguide launch package, it does not require machining of the bottom-side, does not require removal of the bottom-side material, and does not require a bottom lid.
