Solution Approach 1:

The co-planar ground is segmented into multiple line patterns arranged in parallel. This segmentation allows the bonding intermediate film to be applied more uniformly across each individual line pattern, preventing the non-uniform distribution of resin material and conductive particles that occurs when bonding over a large continuous area. The segmented structure enables better control of the heat-pressing process across the bonding interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The co-planar ground structure provides different local properties: the line patterns provide bonding surfaces with controlled geometry for uniform material distribution, while the spaces between lines allow for heat and pressure dissipation. This local quality differentiation ensures that the bonding intermediate film achieves consistent adhesive strength and conductivity across the bonding interface.

Solution Approach 1:

The co-planar ground is divided into multiple discrete line patterns, which segments the conductive path into multiple parallel channels. This segmentation ensures that conductive activation occurs uniformly across all line patterns during the heat-pressing process, preventing deviations in conductivity that would occur with a single large bonding area.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The line pattern geometry (width, spacing, length) is specifically designed to control the thermal and electrical parameters during bonding. By adjusting these geometric parameters, the heat-pressing process achieves uniform conductive activation across all line patterns, ensuring consistent conductivity throughout the bonding structure.

AI summary

A circuit board for an antenna may include a core layer, a signal wiring disposed on a surface of the core layer, and a co-planar ground disposed around the signal wiring on the surface of the core layer. The co-planar ground may include line patterns adjacent to a front end portion of the signal wiring.
