    摘要: A branchline coupler structure having a pair of main transmission lines disposed on different horizontal levels of a support structure and a pair of shunt transmission lines, vertically disposed and laterally spaced, and disposed in the support structure. A first one of the pair of shunt transmission lines is coupled between: one region of a first one of the pair of main transmission lines and a first end of a second one of the pair of main transmission line. A second one of the pair of shunt transmission lines is coupled between a second region of the first one of the pair of main transmission lines, laterally spaced from the first region, and a second end of the second one of the main transmission lines.

    摘要: A microwave transmission line structure having a pair of ground strip conductors on a surface of a dielectric substrate structure. A signal strip conductor is disposed on the surface of the dielectric substrate structure between the pair of ground strip conductors. A solid dielectric layer is disposed over: the signal strip conductor; the upper surface of the dielectric substrate structure between sides of each one of the ground strip conductors; and the signal strip conductor. An electrically conductive shield member is disposed on the solid dielectric layer and on, and in direct contact with, upper surfaces of the pair of ground strip conductors. The structure is used on each one of a plurality of proximate microwave transmission lines formed on the substrate structure to electrically isolate the transmission line.

    摘要: An RF circuit module having RF and DC contacts on a surface of a circuit board. An RF component having RF and DC contacts is disposed in a cavity of the circuit board. Electrical connectors bridge the cavity to connect the RF contacts on the circuit board to the RF contacts on the RE component and the DC, contacts on the circuit board to the DC contacts on the RF component. A plug member is disposed in the cavity which has a dielectric member with an outer portion disposed over the RF and DC contacts on the circuit board and an inner portion elevated above the RF and DC contacts the RF component. The plug member has one portion of electrical conductors disposed on an upper surface of the inner portion and another portion disposed under the outer portion on, and electrically connected to, the DC contacts on the circuit board.
