Abstract

An improved delay line with an input and an output is disclosed wherein a signal passing through the delay line from the input to the output can be optimized regarding the delay line component size, delay time, and signal configuration. The design and use of more than one impedance conductor is taught. The impedance conductors are arranged in specific alignments with each other and with dielectric bases to result in reduced component size, increased delay time, and to adjust the signal configuration. Further optimization of these features is taught through the use of a shield cover in specific alignment to the impedance conductors and dielectric bases.
