  • Patent number: 6717054
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminated conductor assembly comprising an input section, an output section, and a superposition of alternate electrically conducting and electrically insulating layers. The electrically conducting layers present a geometry which defines both capacitive and inductive structures, and these capacitive and inductive structures form, between the input and output sections, a capacitive and inductive frequency-filtering circuit. The electrically conducting layers comprise respective superposed first end portions for defining first capacitive structures, respective superposed second end portions opposite to the first end portions for defining second capacitive structures, and respective narrower bridge portions for interconnecting the first and second end portions of the corresponding electrically conducting layers, wherein these narrower bridge portions define respective inductive structures. Preferably, the narrower bridge portions are laterally offset with respect to each other.
