Abstract:
A multi-layer microwave corrugated printed circuit board is provided. In one embodiment, an interconnect assembly includes a first flat flexible layer having a signal conductor and a ground conductor forming a first microstripline or microstrip transmission line, a second folded flexible layer having a signal conductor and a ground conductor forming a second microstripline or microstrip transmission line, the bottom surface of the second folded flexible layer having ridge portions, a non-conductive adhesive layer disposed between the top surface of the first flat flexible layer and the ridge portions of the second folded flexible layer, a signal through-hole extending through the non-conductive adhesive layer and the first flat flexible layer, and two ground through-holes extending through the non-conductive adhesive layer and the second folded flexible layer, wherein the two ground through-holes are disposed on opposite sides of the signal through-hole.
