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 seated within an assembly that forms a hermetic sealed, coaxial structure to prevent signal loss at increasing frequencies.
