Abstract:
1. A structure for implementing customizable dielectric printed circuit card traces comprising: an outer layer of a printed circuit card including a plurality of signal traces; a mating circuit card layer including a plurality of matching signal traces; said mating circuit card layer attached to said outer layer to create a cavity near selected signal traces; said selected signal traces including predefined signal traces having a selected thickness being selectively increased by electroplating, and said selectively increased by electroplating traces surrounding a plurality of said signal trace; a selected dielectric material having a selected dielectric property filling said cavity; said dielectric material being selected to alter at least one predefined electrical property of the selected signal traces; said at least one predefined electrical property of the selected signal traces including at least one of coupling, propagation delay and attenuation; said outer layer of the printed circuit card having dielectric material selectively removed near selected signal traces providing a resulting void; and said selected dielectric material filling said void; and said mating circuit card layer being attached to said outer layer of the printed circuit card by soldering together selected mating traces of said mating circuit card layer and said selectively increased by electroplating traces of the outer layer of the printed circuit card.
