Abstract
A method for making electrical connection to an electrically conductive surface, providing improved electrical performance. The electrical connection is made across an extent of the surface, rather than at just one point of the surface, and furthermore is made to be substantially nonuniform along its extent. This nonuniformity can be structured to provide preferential admittance at plural apertures, with these apertures having suitable dimensions and spacings. By this method, improved electrical performance can be provided, compared to prior art methods that connect substantially at one point, or that connect substantially uniformly along an extent.
Claims16
A method for providing improved electrical performance from a single electrically conductive surface,
- said method comprising the step of providing a single electrically conductive surface,
- and the step of providing a substructure for making external electrical connection to said single surface,
- and the step of electrically connecting said substructure to said single surface at substantially more than one point, said connecting being substantially nonuniform with respect to a dimension of said single surface in a first direction.
A method for making external electrical connection to a single electrically conductive surface,
- said method comprising the step of providing a substructure for making external electrical connection to said single surface,
- said substructure extending along a first extent greater than substantially one point,
- and the step of making a predominant vector component of said first extent extend along a dimension of said single surface in a first direction,
- and the step of providing that said substructure is substantially nonuniform, within said first extent,
- and the step of electrically connecting said substructure to said single surface at substantially more than one point.
