Abstract(in English) The coaxial connector is commonly used for electrical connection between circuit boards at radio frequency (RF). However, it is necessary to match position of coaxial pins for the connection, so circuit boards cannot be connected when the connectors are misaligned. For realizing a misalignment-resistant RF connection structure, we have studied the RF connection structure using spring contact probes. In this paper, RF connector with improved robustness by defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed. In addition, efficiency of proposed structure is verified by electromagnetic simulation and measure. The measurement results of fabricated connector shows that conventional structure with a gap between substrate and metal chassis has 17dB return loss. On the other hand, proposed structure has 20dB return loss, and we confirm the efficiency of it.
