Patent ID: 6965279

Claim:
A stripline signal processing module comprising: a first planar dielectric substrate defining an edge; a second planar dielectric substrate defining an edge; a ground plane; the first dielectric substrate, the second dielectric substrate, and the ground plane adhered together in an overlaying configuration with the ground plane located between the first and second dielectric substrates and the edges aligned to form an interface edge; a first stripline circuit exposed on one side to the first dielectric substrate and to air on an opposing side; a second stripline circuit exposed on one side to the second dielectric substrate and to a air on an opposing side; one or more input ports located at the interface edge and electrically connected to the first or second stripline circuits; one or more output ports located at the interface edge and electrically connected to the first or second stripline circuits; and the first and second stripline circuits configured to receive propagating signals at the input ports, perform a signal processing operation on the received propagating signals, and deliver processed signals to the output ports.
