Claim 18:
19. An apparatus, comprising:
a first electrically conductive trace having a first orientation included in a first layer;
a second electrically conductive trace having a second orientation, different from the first orientation, included in a second layer; and
a power splitter/combiner included in the first and second layers, wherein a first portion of the power splitter/combiner included in the first layer electrically connects to the first electrically conductive trace, a second portion of the power splitter/combiner included in the second layer electrically connects to the second electrically conductive trace, and a third portion of the power splitter/combiner comprises a via that extends between the first and second layers, wherein the power splitter/combiner is located at portions of the first and second electrically conductive traces that are collinear to each other in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the first layer.
