Arrangement for more even current distribution in a transmission line

Patent, 2002

More even current distribution in a transmission line is provided by an arrangement including a first conductive layer, a dielectric layer and a ground plane. The first conductive layer, the dielectric layer and the ground plane extend mainly in substantially the same direction, with the dielectric layer arranged between the first conductive layer and the ground plane. The arrangement includes an object located between the dielectric layer and the ground plane. The object can be electrically conductive or made of a dielectric material.
