Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a connector for connecting a waveguide and a board, comprising: a first opening part formed in a direction perpendicular to one side of a board and coupled to the one side of the board; a second opening part formed in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of a waveguide for signal transmission, wherein the waveguide is capable of being coupled to the second opening part; and a signal guide part connecting the first and second opening parts and including a hollowness surrounded by a conductive layer therein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A connector for connecting a waveguide and a board, comprising: a first opening part formed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the board and coupled to the one side of the board; a second opening part formed in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of a waveguide for signal transmission, wherein the waveguide is capable of being coupled to the second opening part; and a signal guide part connecting the first and second opening parts and including a hollow portion surrounded by a conductive layer therein, wherein the first opening part is coupled to the one side of the board by means of a latch or a bolt-nut coupling. 2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the signal guide part is configured to guide a signal transmitted from the waveguide such that the signal is transmitted to the board along the hollow portion, or to guide a signal transmitted from the board such that the signal is transmitted to the waveguide along the hollow portion. 3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second opening part is formed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first opening part is formed. 4. A connector for connecting a waveguide and a board, comprising: a first opening part formed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the board and coupled to the one side of the board; a second opening part formed in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of a waveguide for signal transmission, wherein the waveguide is capable of being coupled to the second opening part; and a signal guide part connecting the first and second opening parts and including a hollow portion surrounded by a conductive layer therein, wherein an insulating material other than air is included in the hollow portion. 5. The connector of claim 4 , wherein the waveguide comprises a dielectric part and a metal part surrounding the dielectric part, at least a portion of the dielectric part is exposed without being surrounded by the metal part, and the second opening part is configured to be coupled with the waveguide in a manner that the exposed dielectric part is inserted into the second opening part. 6. A connector for connecting a plurality of waveguides and a board, comprising: a first opening part formed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the board and coupled to the one side of the board; a second opening part formed in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the plurality of waveguides for signal transmission, wherein each of the plurality of waveguides is capable of being coupled to the second opening part; and a signal guide part connecting the first and second opening parts and including a plurality hollow portions surrounded by a conductive layer therein, wherein the signal guide part is configured to guide a respective signal transmitted from the plurality of waveguides such that the respective signal is transmitted to the board along each of the plurality hollow portions corresponding to each of the plurality of waveguides, or to guide a signal transmitted from the board such that the signal is transmitted to the plurality of waveguides along each of the plurality of hollow portions corresponding to each of the plurality of waveguides, and wherein the first opening part is coupled to the one side of the board by means of a latch or a bolt-nut coupling.
