Abstract

A high speed flexible interconnect cable includes a number of conductive layers and a number of dielectric layers. Conductive signal traces, located on the conductive layers, combine with the dielectric layers to form one or more high speed electrical transmission line structures. The transmission line structure may be realized as a grounded coplanar waveguide structure, a microstrip structure, a stripline structure, or the like. The cable can be coupled to destination components using a variety of connection techniques, e.g., direct bonding to a circuit substrate, direct soldering to a flip chip, mechanical attachment to a component, or integration with a circuit substrate. The cable can also be terminated with any number of known or standardized connector packages, e.g., SMA, GPPO, or V connectors.
