Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for design of low loss, size restricted high frequency circuits. In a preferred embodiment, an electronic device includes: a first circuit layer located above the main circuit board comprising a first stripline passive circuit; and a second circuit layer located above the first circuit, the second layer comprising a second stripline circuit. The two stripline circuits can be separately coupled to leads, or coupled to each other and other leads using vias through the ground layer(s) separating each stripline. The stacked stripline elements can be used together with other circuits, and the stacked circuit board can be conveniently joined together with other assemblies, e.g., by surface mounting to a main board. The utility of this topology can be extended by the use of n-circuit embodiment or embedding in a multilayered main circuit board.
