Hi Hirshtal, You can connect the 2 boards directly to each other using a sheet of Paricon elastomer. You design the boards with an array of matching pads on both boards, align and clamp. You can also use coaxial structures but this will not be necessary in this application. This provides a virtually invisible interconnection (<0.3dB loss at 40 GHz) Regards, Roger Roger E.
