| 20090295494 | WAVEGUIDE CONNECTOR - A compact end launch transition for providing a connection between a housing having an electrical terminator and a waveguide component and associated method are described. The transition includes a having a rear side presenting a substantially flat surface to abut the housing and has a front side having an aperture. An antenna located within the body is configured to interact with the aperture to form an end launch transition. An electrical connector is in electrical communication with the antenna and exposed from the rear side of the body to connect directly to the electrical terminator. This avoids the need to use cable to connect the housing and waveguide component and provides a particularly compact device. | 12-03-2009 |
