Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical transmission arrangement (700, 800) comprising a first (710; 810) section of a conductor with a main extension in a first (x) and a second (y) plane, and a first (740; 840) section of a ground plane which extends essentially in parallel with the first conductor section on a first side thereof, at a certain first distance (d3) therefrom and has a main extension in the same two planes (x, y) as the first conductor section, which first conductor section and first ground plane section together are included in a microstrip arrangement, and a second (720; 820) section of the same conductor, a second (750; 850) and a third (770; 870) ground plane section, where the second and third ground plane sections extend essentially in parallel with the second conductor section on a first and, respectively, second side thereof at a second (d3) and, respectively, third distance (d3) therefrom, where the second conductor section and the second and third ground plane sections are included in a strip-line arrangement, in which transmission arrangement (700, 800) the conductor sections are separated from adjacent ground plane sections by a dielectric medium. The first (710, 810) and the second (720, 820) conductor sections are displaced in parallel with respect to one another along a third plane (z) and exhibit an electrical connection (705, 805) to one another, and the ground plane sections (740, 750, 770) are displaced in parallel with respect to one another along the same plane (z) as the displacements of the conductor sections.
Abstract:
The present invention uses metallization termination techniques (420, 520, 620, 630, 720) to reduce the electro-magnetic field scattering (410) at the edges of metallized areas (400). The metallization termination techniques (420, 520, 620, 630, 720) provide a gradual transition from high conductivity areas to high impedance areas. The mobile phone antenna illuminates the PCB allowing currents to flow on the PCB. When the currents reach edges of the PCB they flow through a region of increasingly high impedance without reflecting back or scattering.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for improving the delivery and filtering of power to a semiconductor device is disclosed by organizing out interconnects (pins, balls, pads or other interconnects) used to carry power in a striped configuration that shortens the conductive path required between a power source and a semiconductor device and that reduces the resistance of that conductive path.
Abstract:
A node for commonly supplying a ground potential in an amplification circuit (MMIC11) is formed. The input and output system ground surfaces of a printed wiring board (PWB) on which the amplification circuit (MMIC11) is to be mounted are electrically separated from each other on the printed wiring board (PWB). Since no ground pattern is present on the amplification circuit (MMIC11), the ground node of the amplification circuit (MMIC11) serves as a means for supplying a true ground potential. While a compact package is realized by preventing an increase in number of leads, oscillation is prevented, so a high gain can be realized.

The card has a ground and/or power layer (112) extending to the edges of a circuit board for electrostatic discharge protection but also has gaps (112a) at the edge of the ground and/or power layer (112) to avoid short circuiting with conductive segments (160) of another layer deformed when the card is trimmed during manufacture.

At the point, where the lower ground plane (730) of the first strip-line conductor coincides with the upper ground plane (760) of the second strip-line conductor, the main direction of extension (A) of the first strip-line conductor crosses the main direction of extension (B) of the second strip-line conductor, and the second strip-line conductor extends in a third plane in the transmission arrangement at this crossing point, whereby the second strip-line conductors exhibit electrical connections (740', 750', 760') between adjacent planes, which connections (740', 750', 760') connect the conductors (750, 751) of the second strip-line conductor, upper ground planes (760, 761) and lower ground planes (740, 741) to corresponding components in adjacent planes.
Abstract:
A transmission line, a resonator, a filter, a duplexer, and a communication apparatus efficiently minimize power losses due to edge effects, thereby having superior loss-reduction characteristics. A continuous line (12) and a plurality of thin lines (2) each having a predetermined length and branching from both sides of the continuous line (12) are formed on a dielectric substrate (1). According to this, substantial edges of the individual thin lines (2) do not exist, and losses due to edge effects can be efficiently minimized.
