Patent ID: 7586192

Claim:
A system comprising: an integrated circuit; a first contact; a first signal router, connecting the contact to the integrated circuit; a first plurality of projections, extending from the first signal router, the projections being spaced apart from one another; a second contact; a second signal router, connecting the second contact to the integrated circuit, the second signal router parallel to the first signal router; and a second plurality of projections, extending from the second signal router, the projections of the second plurality of projections being spaced apart from one another, wherein at least one of the first plurality of projections and at least one of the second plurality of projections are interjacent, and wherein the first plurality of projections and second plurality of projections are positioned such that the distance between each of the projections is any value between 0.25 and 0.125 of λgo. wherein λgo is a guide wavelength at cut-off frequency of the first and second signal routers, which form a differential pair.
