Transmission Line Structure and Method of Attaching Transmission Line Structure to Conductive Body

An apparatus, comprising

• at least one processor, and
• at least one memory including computer program code,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• mount a grounding clip to a planar flexible printed circuit transmission line;
• clamp the grounding clip to a chassis of an electronic device;
• and
• operate a laser beam to weld the grounding clip to the chassis;
• wherein welding the grounding clip to the chassis causes the grounding clip to remain in contact with the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line, and wherein the grounding clip grounds the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line to the chassis.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a conductive chassis;
• a planar flexible printed circuit transmission line on an internal surface of the conductive chassis;
• and
• one or more clips attached to the conductive chassis and in contact with the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line to ground the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line to the conductive chassis.
