Abstract

A method and stiffener-embedded waveguide structure are provided for implementing enhanced data transfer for printed circuit board applications. At least one microwave channel is defined within a stiffener. The microwave channel provides a high frequency path for data transfers. Use of the waveguide channel in the stiffener for data transfers can replace or supplement otherwise required transmission paths in an associated printed circuit board.
