Patent ID: 8686807

Claim:
A transmission line in an electronic device, comprising: a dielectric; a plurality of signal conductors including at least first and second signal conductors; first and second planar ground conductors, wherein the plurality of signal conductors and the dielectric are sandwiched between the first and second planar ground conductors; and a plurality of vias that electrically connect the first planar ground conductor to the second planar ground conductor, wherein at least a first via of the plurality of vias passes between the first and second signal conductors, wherein at least a second via of the plurality of vias passes by the first signal conductor, wherein the first signal conductor is disposed between the first and second vias, wherein the first signal conductor is configured to carry signals at a first power level, wherein the second signal conductor is configured to carry signals at a second power level, and wherein the first power level is greater than the second power level.
