Abstract

This microwave assembly comprises a pair of microwave components and a stripline connecting device interconnecting the components. Each of the components comprises a conductive carrier defining a ground plane, dielectric material on the conductive carrier, and a conductor on the dielectric material having a projecting end portion. The stripline connecting device comprises: (a) a central conductor having conductive terminal portions at opposite ends thereof for respectively contacting the projecting end portions of the conductors of the microwave components, (b) two sections of dielectric material respectively located at opposite sides of the central conductor, and (c) two housing portions of conductive material defining a ground plane for the connecting device and located at opposite sides of the dielectric sections. The connecting device further includes fastening devices for clamping the housing portions together, with the dielectric sections sandwiched between the housing portions and with the terminal portions of the central conductor and the projecting end portions of the conductors of the microwave components sandwiched between the dielectric sections.
