Abstract

Electrical interconnects having a non-linear conductive pathway, and related apparatuses and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an electrical interconnect may include a non-linear conductive pathway electrically coupling top and bottom conductive portions. In some embodiments, an electrical interconnect may include a non-linear conductive pathway that propagates an electrical signal generating electromagnetic fields with an electrical field orthogonal to the direction of electromagnetic-wave propagation. In some embodiments, an electrical interconnect may include a non-linear conductive pathway portion and a linear conductive pathway portion. Also disclosed are connectors including an electrical interconnect having a non-linear conductive pathway. In some embodiments, a connector may include a first electrical interconnect having a non-linear conductive pathway generating first electromagnetic fields; and second electrical interconnect having a linear conductive pathway generating second electromagnetic fields that are orthogonal to the first electromagnetic fields.
