Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board includes a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer, each layer having a top surface and a bottom surface. The first dielectric layer is positioned above the second dielectric layer with the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer facing the top surface of the second dielectric layer. The top surface of the second dielectric layer has a conductive trace. The second dielectric layer has a through-hole that extends through the conductive trace. The multilayer printed circuit board includes an inverted pad interface structure including an inverted pad provided on the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer, a first solder layer provided on a surface of the inverted pad, a second solder layer provided on the conductive trace, and a copper wire positioned within the through-hole to provide the vertical and electrical connection with the conductive trace.

Abstract: An apparatus to automatically place layers of a printed circuit board on a fixture includes a robotic device having a base that is secured to a surface, an upright column that extends upwardly from the base, and a movable arm rotatably coupled to the upright column. The movable arm is configured to rotate about a vertical axis defined by the upright column. The movable arm is further configured to rotate from a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a laminate sheet fixture and to pick up a laminate sheet to a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a board layup fixture to deposit the laminate sheet in the board layup fixture, and from a position in which the movable arm is disposed over a bond film fixture and to pick up a bond film to a position in which the movable arm is disposed over the board layup fixture to deposit the bond film in the board layup fixture.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a power divider circuit includes milling a conductive material disposed upon a first substrate to form a signal trace. The signal trace includes a division from a single trace to two arm traces, with each of the two arm traces having a proximal end electrically connected to the single trace and a distal end electrically connected to each of two secondary traces. The method further includes depositing a resistive ink between the two distal ends to form a resistive electrical connection between the two arm traces, bonding a second substrate to the first substrate to substantially encapsulate the traces between the first substrate and the second substrate, and milling through at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate to provide access to at least one of the traces. A signal divider is further disclosed.

Abstract: Electromagnetic circuit structures and methods are provided for a circuit board that includes a hole disposed through a substrate to provide access to an electrical component, such as a signal trace line (or stripline), that is at least partially encapsulated (e.g., sandwiched) between substrates. The electrical component includes a portion substantially aligned with the hole, and an electrical conductor is disposed within the hole. The electrical conductor is soldered to the portion of the electrical component.
