Abstract: An RF transition assembly (300) for enabling a radiofrequency transition between an RF transmission layer (301) of an electronic device and a conductor (309) which is electrically connected (317) to the RF transmission layer (301). The conductor (309) extends generally orthogonal to the RF transmission layer (301). The assembly comprises an open coaxial structure (313) located adjacent to an edge of the RF transmission layer (301). The open coaxial structure (313) comprises a cavity (315) extending therethrough for receiving the conductor (309). The cavity (315) comprises an opening facing the edge of the RF transmission layer (301) so as to direct electromagnetic radiation towards the RF transmission layer (301).
