Abstract
A method and implementing electronic tri-plate connection system are provided including a nested set of RF Faraday cages within the system with integrated circuit packages containing the core drivers and receivers as the innermost Faraday cage, and additional Faraday cages being implemented at each outward level through card, board, backplane and unit level and into the network level. There is no distinction between power ground, signal ground or shield ground. All grounds throughout the system are at the same level and all package ground levels are interconnected.
