Abstract:
A device in an electronics system, comprising:a component; attachment joints; and a printed board, wherein the component comprises: a first layer of dielectric material; and a conductor arranged on one side of the first layer of dielectric material such that it extends from a first edge of the component to a second edge of the component, the conductor having a first attachment surface proximate to the first edge of the component and a second attachment surface proximate to the second edge of the component; wherein the printed board comprises: a second layer of dielectric material having poor high frequency characteristics; a local area arranged on a first side of the second layer of dielectric material; and pattern conductors arranged on the second layer of dielectric material such that each of the pattern conductors has an end that is adjacent to the local area; wherein the component is mounted to the printed board by means of the attachment joints such that the conductor faces the printed board over the local area of the printed board, and such that the first and second attachment surfaces of the conductor overlap the local area adjacent ends of the respective pattern conductors, whereby the conductor of the component is arranged between the pattern conductors of the printed board, whereby the conductor of the component and the pattern conductors are arranged between the first and second layers of dielectric material, and whereby an air gap is formed between the component and the local area.
