Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. 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;
a third electrically conductive trace included in the first layer, and having the first orientation and immediately adjacent to the first electrically conductive trace;
a fourth electrically conductive trace included in the second layer, and having the second orientation and immediately adjacent to the second electrically conductive trace;
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; and
a second power splitter/combiner included in the first and second layers, wherein the second power splitter/combiner is associated with routing signals between the third and fourth electrically conductive traces.
