Devices and methods for forming an electrical circuit out of a conductor embedded in two layers of substrate are disclosed. Portions of the two layers of substrate and the conductor are removed, forming a cavity through the two layers and the conductor. A blocker material is deposited along the wall of the cavity. A portion of the blocker material and adjacent layer of the substrate is removed forming another cavity in contact with a part of the conductor. A surface of the second cavity is then electroless plated by a conductive metal to form part of the electrical circuit.

Three dimensional circuit formation

Local oscillator circuitry for an antenna array is disclosed. The circuitry includes an array of rotary traveling wave oscillators which are arranged in a pattern over an area and coupled so as to make them coherent. This provides for a set of phase synchronous local oscillators distributed over a large area. The array also includes a plurality of phase shifters each of which is connected to one of the rotary oscillators to provide a phase shifted local oscillator for the array. The phase shifter optionally includes a cycle counter that is configured to count cycles of the rotary oscillator to which it is connected and control circuitry that is then operative to provide a shifted rotary oscillator output based on the count from the cycle counter.
