FLEXIBLE, RADIO-FREQUENCY TRANSITIONS AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS THAT INCLUDE THE FLEXIBLE, RADIO-FREQUENCY TRANSITIONS

Flexible, radio-frequency transitions and electronic systems that include the flexible, radio-frequency transitions are disclosed herein. The flexible, radio-frequency transitions are configured to electrically interconnect a first electronic component and a second electronic component to facilitate radio-frequency electrical communication therebetween and include a flexible dielectric membrane and a microstrip transmission line. The microstrip transmission line is formed on the flexible dielectric membrane and includes an electrically conductive signal trace and an electrically conductive ground plane for the electrically conductive signal trace. The transition is configured to electrically interconnect the first electronic component and the second electronic component, and to permit radio-frequency electrical communication therebetween, throughout a range of transition angles. The electronic systems utilize radio-frequency communication and include the first electronic component, the second electronic component, and the transitions.
