Abstract
An assembly has a conductive trace on a substrate and at least one conductor electrically coupled to the trace. First and second gaps arranged such that one gap is on either side the trace, allowing control of electrical characteristics of a signal path formed of the conductor and the trace.
Claims21
An assembly, comprising:
- a conductive trace on surface of a substrate;
- at least one conductor electrically coupled to the trace;
- and
- first and second gaps arranged such that one gap is on either side of trace on the surface of the substrate, wherein a width of the gaps is based upon a selected signal characteristic.
