Abstract
An electrical connection is provided between a 3-wire transmission line buried in a dielectric substrate and corresponding first, second and third conductive pads formed on a substrate surface. The 3-wire line includes first, second and third wires having a wire cross-sectional dimension. A tapered section connects each wire of the 3-wire line to a corresponding pad. Each tapered section increases in cross-sectional dimension from a first end connected to an end of the wire and a second end connected to a pad. The tapered sections provide a smooth transition of electromagnetic fields between the 3-wire line and the pads.
