Abstract:
High-frequency thin film chip attenuators can include a substrate having a first side and a second side, a first portion coupled to the first side of the substrate, and a second portion coupled to the second side of the substrate. The first portion can include a ground section, an input contact section, and an output contact section. The second portion can include a ground section, an input section, an output section, and a plurality of resistive sections providing electrical communication between the input section, the output section, and the ground section. The resistive sections can be arranged in an attenuation configuration to attenuate a signal received at the input section and output via the output section. A plurality of through-holes extending through the substrate can provide electrical communication between sections on the first side of the substrate and associated sections on the second side of the substrate.

Claim (Index 38):
A passive, high frequency attenuator comprising:\n a substrate comprising a substrate material having a first side and a second side, the second side being opposite the first; a first portion coupled to the first side of the substrate, the first portion comprising:\n an input contact section; \n an output contact section; and \n a ground section; \n a second portion coupled to the second side of the substrate, the second portion comprising:\n a first ground section positioned along a first edge of the second side of the substrate; \n a second ground section positioned along a second edge of the second side of the substrate, the second edge being opposite the first edge; and \n an attenuation section positioned between the first and second ground sections, the attenuation section comprising: \n an input section; \n an output section; and \n a plurality of resistive sections positioned between the input section, the output section, and the first ground section; and \n a first through-hole extending through the substrate and providing electrical communication between the input contact section of the first portion and the input section of the attenuation section; and a second through-hole extending through the substrate and providing electrical communication between the output contact section of the first portion and the output section of the attenuation section; wherein each of the first and second through-holes is internal to a perimeter of the attenuator such that the perimeter of the attenuator does not intersect either the first or the second through-hole.
