Abstract:
1. A method for mounting a microstrip component onto a circuit board, the method comprising: providing a component having a predetermined number of microstrip lines disposed on a first surface of a substrate and a ground layer disposed on a second surface of said substrate; etching a predetermined number of electrical contacts on said second surface of said substrate; coupling each said microstrip line to one of said electrical contacts; connecting said electrical contacts and said ground layer to said circuit board using a ball grid array; providing a magnet disposed on said first surface of said substrate over a resonator circuit connecting said microstrip lines; and providing a pole piece disposed on said second surface of said substrate beneath said ground layer, wherein said magnet and said pole piece are configured to provide a magnetic field in said substrate between said microstrip lines and said ground layer such that signals are coupled between said microstrip lines in a particular direction.
