Abstract
In general, in accordance with an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a low-loss interface for connecting an integrated circuit such as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit to an energy transmission device such as a waveguide is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the interface comprises a pin attached to a matching network that matches the impedance of the energy produced at the circuit to the impedance required by the waveguide without the use of a dielectric material.
