Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Interconnect feed devices ( 10 ) are provided for electrically connecting first and second electrical components ( 17, 21 ). The interconnect feed devices ( 10 ) can include a dielectric shell ( 23 ) with an electrically-conductive coating ( 40 ), and leads ( 22 ) positioned within individual conduits ( 30 ) of the shell. Each lead ( 22 ) and its associated conduit ( 30 ) can act as a coaxial cable for transmitting radio frequency (RF) energy between the first and second electrical components ( 17, 21 ). The shell ( 23 ) can be manufactured using a process, such as stereolithography, that allows the shell to be formed with relatively complicated geometries, which in turn can facilitate relatively complicated cable routing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An interconnect feed device for electrically connecting a first electrical component and a second electrical component, comprising: a plurality of electrically-conductive leads which are each entirely non-insulated; a rigid or semi-rigid dielectric shell comprising a single piece in which a plurality of individual tubular conduits and an end plate have been integrally formed, said plurality of individual tubular conduits comprising separate and distinct physical st…
