The Johnson® Patent Pending High Frequency End Launch connectors are used to transition microwave energy from coaxial to planar transmission line structures. These patent pending connectors provide a unique solution for microwave engineers who fabricate circuit designs on very thin high frequency board substrates. The in-line connector design minimizes reflections as compared to a right-angle (perpendicular) pc mount transition. The Johnson® High Frequency End Launch connector is designed to attach directly to a high frequency coplanar waveguide (CPW) circuit board transmission line, although other lines such as microstrip can be used with good results. These connectors can be used on high frequency PC board substrate layers as thin as 8 mils, and operate at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz.
