Ultra-wideband assembly system and method
View Patent ↗An ultra-wideband assembly is provided. The assembly includes a non-conductive tapered core having a conductive wire wound on an outer surface of the non-conductive tapered core, a low-frequency inductor coupled to the non-conductive tapered core via the distal end of the conductive wire and configured to allow mounting of the non-conductive tapered core at an angle with respect to the circuit board. The low frequency inductor is being disposed on a dielectric board configured to be coupled to the circuit board. The assembly includes an ultra-wideband capacitor coupled to the non-conductive tapered core via the proximate end of the conductive wire, the ultra-wideband capacitor being also coupled to the transmission line on the dielectric board.

a non-conductive tapered core having
an outer surface;
a dielectric being disposed on at least a portion of said outer surface of said non-conductive tapered core;
a distal end; and
a proximate end,
said distal end being larger than proximate end;
a conductive wire having a proximate end and a distal end and being wound about at least a portion of said non-conductive tapered core;
said proximate end of said conductive wire extends away from said proximate end of said non-conductive tapered core;
said distal end of said conductive wire extends away from said distal end of said nonconductive tapered core;
said conductive wire contacts at least a portion of said outer surface of said nonconductive tapered core.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said non-conductive tapered core has a tetrahedron shape.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said non-conductive tapered core has a triangular pyramid shape.
4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said non-conductive tapered core has a multi-dimensional polygonal shape.
5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said non-conductive tapered core is composed of powdered iron.
6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said dielectric is disposed at said proximate end of said non-conductive tapered core.
7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said dielectric is disposed along at least one tapering side of said non-conductive tapered core.
8. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a surface area of said distal end is approximately equal to 0.0041 square inches.
9. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a surface area of said proximate end is in a range from 0 square inches to 0.000025 square inches.
