ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus provide for electrical coupling of electrical components to traces on a substrate such that impedance mismatches otherwise experienced in high frequency operation are avoided. Connecting elements having length, width, and thickness, are provided for terminals of a component to be connected to a trace. The connecting element is electrically coupled between the terminal and the trace, typically by soldering. The dimensions of the connecting element are chosen to reduce or eliminate the impedance mismatch which would result from a direct connection between the trace and component. Connecting elements are generally L-shaped, i.e., having first and second planar portions perpendicular with respect to each other, and having a curving portion that connects the first and second planar portions. In one embodiment, dimensions of at least a portion of the connecting element are such that its width increases as its distance from a ground plane within the substrate increases.
