Abstract
A transmission line. The transmission line includes a reference electrode. The transmission line also includes a stripline. The stripline meanders within a plane. The stripline has a non-planar profile when viewed along a direction parallel to the plane.
Claims20
A transmission line comprising:
- a layered stack that includes a plurality of metal layers and dielectric layers;
- a reference electrode formed from a portion of a first metal layer of the layered stack;
- and
- a stripline meandering along a meander pattern within a meander plane and having a surface that also meanders in a direction perpendicular to the meander plane, wherein the stripline includes a first stripline section that includes a first patterned conductive feature in a form of a first rectangular cuboid within a second metal layer of the layered stack, and a second stripline section that includes a second patterned conductive feature in a form of a second rectangular cuboid within a third metal layer of the layered stack, wherein the first and second rectangular cuboids are directly connected together.

A transmission line comprising:
- a reference electrode;
- and
- a stripline meandering along a meander pattern within a meander plane and having a surface that also meanders in a direction perpendicular to the meander plane, wherein the stripline includes a plurality of rectangular cuboids defining the meander pattern of the stripline, and wherein the plurality of rectangular cuboids includes:
- first rectangular cuboids having a first dimension along a direction perpendicular to the plane;
- and
- second rectangular cuboids having a second dimension along the direction perpendicular to the plane, wherein the first dimension is different relative to the second dimension.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a first antenna;
- and
- a first termination coupled to the first antenna, wherein the first termination includes a transmission line with a stripline meandering along a meander pattern within a meander plane, wherein the stripline has a surface that also meanders in a direction perpendicular to the meander plane, and the stripline includes a first stripline section that includes a first patterned conductive feature in a form of a first rectangular cuboid within a first metal layer of the layered stack, and a second stripline section that includes a second patterned conductive feature in a form of a second rectangular cuboid within a second metal layer of the layered stack, wherein the first and second rectangular cuboids are directly connected together.
