  • Patent number: 6663424
    Abstract: An ultra wideband interconnect from an external cable to an electric circuit. The interconnect includes an external cable including an external cable pin that projects from the termination of the external cable, an internal circuit, a conductive media coupled to the external cable pin and the internal circuit, and a package wall positioned between the external cable and the internal circuit. The package wall includes a cavity extending between the external cable and the internal circuit, the cavity having a coaxial structure. Further, the pin extends into but not through the cavity. The conductive media is coupled to the external cable pin within the cavity.
