1. A method of providing a low-loss interface between a mm-wave integrated circuit and a waveguide, comprising:

  • providing a surface having a contact location for said integrated circuit and a waveguide location for fixing a waveguide thereon;

    providing a transmission line extending along said surface from said contact location substantially to said waveguide location and extending into said waveguide location as a waveguide feed;

    providing a connection bump on a surface of said mm-wave integrated circuit; and

    connecting said mm-wave integrated circuit to said surface at said contact location through said connection bump, such that a first of said connection bump connects a signal output of said mm-wave integrated circuit to said transmission line, thereby providing said low loss interface.
