Abstract
Systems and methods for simple, efficient and/or cost effective manufacturing and assembly of electronic devices are provided. The various systems and methods of the invention may include various ways of coupling, attaching, and/or connecting the various components of the system to one another, for improved cost and ease of assembly. A number of clips may be used to attach together various parts of an electronic system and housing including circuit devices, enclosure lid and housing, and/or cabling. These clips may be screw-less, may be made of a resilient or spring material, designed so that they quickly snap into place so as to provide good mechanical strength and electrical connection. Various circuit elements may include planar circuits, and may include filters made of a high temperature superconductor material. A planar cable may be used for electrical connecting of components. These systems and devices may be used in, for example, wireless communication systems.
