Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to an aspect, there is provided a printed circuit board-based resistive device. The resistive device comprises, arranged on a substrate of the printed circuit board of the printed circuit board: a first conductive pad; a second conductive pad; a resistive patch having a first longitudinal end connected to the first conductive pad and a second longitudinal end connected to the second conductive pad, wherein a width of the resistive patch varies along a length of the resistive patch and has a maximum at a point between the first and second longitudinal ends.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A printed circuit board-based resistive device comprising, disposed on a substrate of the printed circuit board: a first conductive pad; a second conductive pad; a resistive patch having a first longitudinal end connected to the first conductive pad and a second longitudinal end connected to the second conductive pad, wherein the resistive patch comprises a first end section at the first longitudinal end of the resistive patch, a middle section, and second end section at the second longitudinal end of the resistive patch, wherein the middle section comprises a plurality of rectangular segments cascaded next to each other, and wherein the plurality of rectangular segments is approximating an elliptic shape; and wherein a width of the resistive patch varies along a length of the resistive patch and has a maximum at a point between the first and second longitudinal ends. 2. The resistive device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second end sections of the resistive patch are rectangular. 3. The resistive device according to claim 1 , wherein the resistive patch comprises resistive ink disposed on the substrate of the printed circuit board. 4. The resistive device according to claim 1 , wherein the resistive patch comprises a thin film of lossy material deposited on the substrate of the printed circuit board. 5. The resistive device according to claim 1 , wherein the resistive patch comprises a thin film of lossy material attached to the substrate of the printed circuit board and shaped by chemical etching, laser etching, mechanical routing to remove unwanted material.
