Abstract
A coaxial connection is electromagnetically shielded at an interface between a surface mountable coaxial connector and a planar circuit operating in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave frequency ranges. In addition or alternatively, the coaxial connection reduces a potential impedance mismatch associated with attaching a coaxial transmission line of the coaxial connector to a planar transmission line of the planar circuit.
