Abstract:
A hermetically sealed package assembly for microwave circuits in the high microwave frequencies having a dielectric gap defined in the substrate. The package assembly comprises a substrate for carrying the circuit on a top surface, a seal ring wall carried on the top surface, a via structure provided through the substrate for transmitting high-frequency signals into and out of the package, and a conducive lead carried on the bottom surface of the substrate and passes under the seal ring wall. A dielectric gap is provided in the substrate between the seal ring wall and the lead to reduce the capacitive coupling between the lead and the wall. The gap may be a sealed cavity provided inside the substrate, or a cutout area in the substrate so that the lead is suspended in air at the location where it passes under the seal ring wall.
Abstract:
A capacitor mounting structure for printed circuit boards wherein the capacitor includes first and second terminals which are connected to first and second conductor planes in the printed circuit board. Three vias are mounted in the printed circuit board in a position to be aligned with the middle of the capacitor. A first conductor pad is mounted underneath one end of the capacitor and includes spaced apart extension portions which electrically attach to the first and third via. A second conductor pad is mounted under the other end of the capacitor and includes a central extension portion which attaches to the second or middle via. In this manner, the region available for generation of parasitic inductance is minimized thereby increasing the operating efficiency of the capacitor.
Abstract:
A circuit board for mounting a band-pass filter. An elongate through hole is formed through the ground surface of the circuit board for shielding the input and output terminals of a band-pass filter from each other. The through hole eliminates unexpected coupling between the input and output terminals within the circuit board. Solder which flows into the through hole allows the casing of the filter to closely contact the ground surface of the circuit board.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a circuit arrangement having an amplifier with first and second input terminals which are adapted to be coupled to a playback head, wherein the first input terminal of the amplifier is coupled through a first circuit section of a conductive pattern to a first terminal of the playback head and the second input terminal of the amplifier is coupled through a second circuit section of the conductive pattern to a second terminal of the playback head. The first and second circuit sections (3, 4) are arranged to insulatively cross each other at an intersection (6) to form a figure eight pattern having two loop sections of substantially equal areas to equalize the amounts of currents which are oppositely respectively induced in the first and second loop sections by an externally generated magnetic flux.

Abstract:
An electrical component means and method of making same. The component means includes an electrical component body such as a capacitor body and continuous terminal means, preferably Ushaped, with portions immediately adjacent one side of the component body joined to that side of the component body. Lead means of the continuous terminal means, preferably a pair of spaced and parallel elongated wires of the U-shaped terminal means, project from the component body in the same direction. Each of the lead means is adapted to project through and is adapted to be secured against movement relative to apertures of an electrically insulating base means. The configuration of the terminal means and intimate engagement thereof along the entire length of each immediately adjacent side of the component body cooperate to help reduce the impedance of the electrical component means at elevated frequencies. If high frequency operation is not a consideration, the lead wires of the terminal means may be inserted through apertures of a support means and twisted together on a side of the support means opposite the side of the support means adjacent the base means of the component body to help cooperatively associate the component body with the support means.

A multilayer substrate module includes a multilayer circuit substrate, a mounting land, and an input/output terminal. Inside the multilayer circuit substrate, a wiring line that connects the mounting land and the input/output terminal to each other, an inductor that defines a portion of the wiring line, a first ground conductor that is positioned on the one main surface side of the inductor, and a second ground conductor that is positioned on the other main surface side of the inductor are defined by conductor patterns. The area where inductor is located is not superposed with the area where the second ground conductor is located, when the one main surface or the other main surface of the multilayer circuit substrate is viewed in plan, the second ground conductor being closer to the layer where the inductor is located than the first ground conductor is.
