Abstract
A radio frequency electrical connection between a pair of electrical devices (101, 104) is formed by a pair of bond wires (102, 103) crossing (401) each other.
Claims4
A twisted pair structure used for reducing electrical coupling between at least two adjacent components comprising:
- first and second freestanding bond wires which are positioned substantially parallel to form at least one twisted section and at least one substantially parallel section;
- and
- each of said at least one twisted section utilizes insulated wires having a predetermined length, and further where each of said at least one substantially parallel section utilizes uninsulated wires and defines a portion of said twisted pair structure where said first and second wires are separated by a predetermined distance for facilitating connection to an electrical device, wherein at least one uninsulated section of said at least one substantially parallel section is between the ends of the twisted pair structure.
A method of forming a twisted pair device used in a radio frequency electrical connection for reducing crosstalk and aiding in making a connection to an electrical device comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first insulated wire and a second insulated wire in parallel;
- and
- arranging said first wire and said second wire to form a plurality of twisted sections and a plurality of parallel sections, where said twisted sections form a helical twist and said parallel sections define an area where said first and wires are substantially in parallel, uninsulated and separated by a predetermined distance, wherein at least one uninsulated section of said parallel sections is between the ends of the twisted pair device.
