Abstract:
1. A resistor assembly, for use at microwave frequencies, the resistor assembly comprising: a) a substrate; b) first and second contacts mounted on the substrate; c) a third contact mounted on the substrate between the first and second contacts; d) first and second resistors mounted on the substrate, the first resistor extending between the first and third contacts, and the second resistor extending between the second and third contacts; and e) a third resistor mounted on the substrate and extending between the first and second contacts, wherein the resistors are maintained spaced from one another by the substrate, wherein the first and second contacts are provided along opposing edges of the substrate, wherein the third contact is provided as a middle contact provided on one side of the substrate and spaced between the first and second contacts, wherein the first and second resistors are provided on said one side of the substrate, and wherein the third resistor is provided on the other side of the substrate.
