Abstract:
1. A transmission line comprising: a elongated dielectric body extending between two opposing ends, the body including a first surface extending between the two opposing ends and a second surface extending between said two opposing ends, the first and second surfaces of said body being located on opposite sides of said body; a plurality of first and second conductive traces respectively disposed on said first and second surfaces of said body and further being spaced apart from each a given distance along the length of said body between said two ends thereof, the first conductive traces being disposed in a pattern on said body first surface and the second conductive traces being disposed in a like pattern on said body second surface such that said first and second conductive traces are aligned with each other so as to permit capacitive coupling therebetween through said body; said first and second surfaces of said body including a plurality of raised lands, the lands of said first and second surfaces of said body respectively supporting said first and second conductive traces, adjacent lands being separated from each other in intervening slots; and, said body including means for mounting said body to a surface of a substrate, the surface mounting means being disposed on said first and second surfaces of said body and aligned with said lands, the surface mounting means extending outwardly from said first and second surfaces of said body.
