Claim:
1. A signal distribution structure comprising: a dielectric material; an overlying conducting layer on a first level of the dielectric material, said overlying conducting layer including a window region that is surrounded on four sides by the overlying conducting layer; a first signal line on a second level of the dielectric material under the first level, said first signal line physically separated from the overlying conducting layer by the dielectric material, said window region overlying and running parallel to a portion of the first signal line, and wherein the first signal line on each side of said portion of the first signal line passes under the overlying conducting layer; and a first coupler electrode on the first level of the dielectric material and located within the window region, said first coupler electrode above, parallel to, and electrically isolated by the dielectric material from the first signal line, wherein the first coupler electrode is shorter than the first signal line and is electrically isolated from the overlying conducting layer along at least most of its periphery.
