Zusammenfassung:A printed circuit board assembly comprising a plurality of layers. At least one of the plurality of layers is formed of a dielectric material and has an extended portion extending beyond the other layers in the plurality of layers. A first metallic layer is located on at least a portion of the extended portion of the dielectric layer. The first metallic layer and the dielectric layer are configured to form a launch transducer comprising one or more transmission lines and a transducer element coupled to the one or more transmission lines. The transducer element is configured to propagate millimeter wave frequency signals.
