1. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly for electrically coupling an integrated circuit to coaxial lines, the PCB assembly comprising:
first PCB having a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of conductive traces, each one of the plurality of conductive traces having a portion exposed at the second surface of the first PCB;
a first plurality of coaxial connectors carried by the first surface of the first PCB, each one of the first plurality of coaxial connectors having a respective inner conductor, wherein each one of the plurality of conductive traces is electrically coupled to the inner conductor of a respective one of the first plurality of coaxial connectors;
a second PCB having a respective first surface and a respective second surface; and
a second plurality of coaxial connectors carried by the first surface of the second PCB, wherein the first surface of the second PCB is parallel to the first surface of the first PCB.
