Abstract: A process of fabricating an electromagnetic circuit includes providing a first sheet of dielectric material including a top surface having at least one conductive trace and depositing a solder bump on the at least one conductive trace. The process further includes applying a second sheet of dielectric material to the first sheet of dielectric material with bond film sandwiched in between, the second sheet of dielectric material having a through-hole providing access to the solder bump. The process further includes bonding the first and second dielectric materials to one another and removing bond film resin from the solder bump. The process further includes machining the solder bump by the drilling or milling process to achieve a desired amount of solder in the solder bump.

Abstract: Circuits and methods include transmission lines formed from a conductive cladding on a substrate surface. The transmission line includes additional reference conductors positioned co-planar on the surface, including a gap between the transmission line and each of the reference conductors. The transmission line and the reference conductors are at least partially encapsulated (e.g., sandwiched) between two substrates. Isolation boundaries may be included as ground planes, e.g., above and below the transmission line, on opposing surfaces of the substrates, and Faraday walls, e.g., vertically, through the substrates. Current densities generated by various electromagnetic signals are distributed among the transmission line and the reference conductors (as a tri-conductor arrangement), and may be partially further distributed to the isolation (ground) boundaries.

Abstract: A via-less beamformer provided from a plurality of circuits elements having circuit layouts selected to mitigate unwanted reactive coupling there between. At least one of the plurality of circuit elements is provided having a circuit layout selected based upon reactive field theory. In one embodiment, a circuit layout may be selected by: determining which circuit features of the circuit elements produce reactive fields in response to a signal provided thereto, separating the total field into a modal set and determining the modal weighting coefficients based on geometrical and/or design features of the of the circuit elements. In one embodiment the via-less beamformer comprises one or more via-less combiner/divider circuits. In one embodiment the via-less beamformer comprises one or more branch hybrid coupler circuits. In one embodiment the via-less beamformer comprises one or more via-less combiner/divider circuits and one or more branch hybrid coupler circuits.
