Patent ID: 8379405

Claim:
An ultra-wideband assembly in an electrical circuit having a circuit board with a conductive micro-strip line, comprising: a non-conductive tapered core having an outer surface; a distal end; and a proximate end, said distal end being larger than proximate end; a conductive wire having a proximate end and a distal end and being wound about at least a portion of said non-conductive tapered core; said proximate end of said conductive wire extends away from said proximate end of said non-conductive tapered core and is being conductively coupled to said micro-strip line of said circuit board; said distal end of said conductive wire extends away from said distal end of said non-conductive tapered core; said conductive wire contacts at least a portion of said outer surface of said non-conductive tapered core; a supporting bracket coupled to said non-conductive tapered core and having a base portion; and a core attachment portion; said base portion is being conductively coupled to said circuit board; said core attachment portion is being coupled to said distal end of said non-conductive tapered core and is further being conductively coupled to said distal end of said conductive wire; while being coupled to said non-conductive tapered core, said supporting bracket is configured to dispose said non-conductive tapered core at a predetermined angle to said circuit board.
