Abstract:
Flipped radio frequency (RF) and microwave filters and components for compact package assemblies are provided. An example RF filter is constructed by depositing a conductive trace, such as a redistribution layer, onto a flat surface of a substrate, to form an RF filter element. The substrate is vertically mounted on a motherboard, thereby saving dedicated area. Multiple layers of substrate can be laminated into a stack and mounted so that the RF filter elements of each layer are in vertical planes with respect to a horizontal motherboard, providing dramatic reduction in size. Deposited conductive traces of an example flipped RF filter stack can provide various stub configurations of an RF filter and emulate various distributed filter elements and their configuration geometries. The deposited conductive traces can also form other electronic components to be used in conjunction with the RF filter elements. A wirebond or bond via array (BVA™) version can provide flipped RF and microwave filters.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the conductive trace comprising the RF filter element includes a distributed filter element selected from the group consisting of\n a line short-circuited to ground and coupled to a main line of the conductive trace, a stub short-circuited to ground and in parallel with the main line, an open-circuit stub in parallel with the main line, coupled lines each short-circuited to ground, coupled open-circuit lines, a line having an abrupt change in width to provide a stepped impedance, a line having an abrupt end, a line possessing a hole or a slit, a line possessing a transverse half-slit across the line, a line possessing a gap, a line incorporating shunt resonators to provide a stepped-impedance lowpass filter, a line possessing alternate high and low impedance sections to provide a stepped-impedance lowpass filter, a line possessing stubs \u03bb/4 apart on alternating sides of the line, paralleled radial stubs comprising butterfly stubs, doubled stubs in parallel, radial stubs, triple paralleled radial stubs comprising clover-leaf stubs, lines comprising a hairpin filter configuration, lines comprising an interdigital filter configuration, lines comprising a capacitive gap filter, parallel-coupled lines, and a line possessing \u03bb/4 stubs short-circuited to ground.
