Abstract:
1. A component comprising: a substrate; a predetermined number of microstrip lines disposed on a first surface of said substrate; a ground layer disposed on a second surface of said substrate; a predetermined number of electrical contacts disposed on said second surface of said substrate, wherein said electrical contacts are conductive pads that are coplanar with said ground layer; first means for coupling each said microstrip line to one of said electrical contacts; second means for connecting said conductive pads and ground layer to a circuit board, wherein said second means includes a ball grid array, wherein said ball grid array includes a plurality of solder balls, at least one solder ball attached to each conductive pad and at least one solder ball attached to said ground; and third means for providing a magnetic field in said substrate between said microstrip lines and said ground such that signals are coupled between said microstrip lines in a particular direction, wherein said third means includes a magnet disposed on said first surface of said substrate over a resonator circuit connecting said microstrip lines, and a pole piece disposed on said second surface of said substrate beneath said ground.
