Passive Element Array Terminal Isolation via Perpendicular Lamination

The patent applies dimensionality change by arranging passive elements adjacent to each other in the planar direction (horizontal arrangement) rather than stacking them vertically. This allows multiple passive elements to coexist in a compact area while maintaining isolation between their input/output terminals, as each terminal pair is contained within its own passive element structure. The horizontal arrangement in the element body enables high density without the terminal interference that would result from vertical stacking or closely spaced vertical arrangements.

The patent resolves this contradiction by changing the arrangement dimension from vertical stacking to horizontal adjacency within the element body. Passive elements are arranged side-by-side in the planar direction, which reduces area occupation compared to vertical stacking while maintaining effective isolation between elements. The isolation is achieved because each passive element's magnetic field is contained within its own structure, and adjacent elements do not directly interfere with each other's operation.

The patent applies local quality by allowing each passive element to have its own specific winding axis orientation tailored to its functional requirements. Rather than imposing a uniform arrangement on all elements, each element can be independently configured with the optimal winding axis for its intended purpose. This localized customization achieves effective isolation between coil elements while avoiding the complexity of a rigid, standardized arrangement system.
