Abstract
A technique for improving signal reach and signal integrity when using high bit rates or high signal frequencies is provided. A multi-layer substrate comprises a conductor having a continuous main path and discrete spaced edges protruding from opposing edges of the continuous main path. A first spacer layer is disposed on a first side of the conductor, the first a spacer layer having an air channel substantially coextensive with the continuous main path and a solid portion overlapping with the discrete spaced edges. A second spacer layer is disposed on a second side of the conductor, the second spacer layer having an air channel substantially coextensive with the continuous main path of the conductor and a solid portion overlapping with the discrete spaced edges.
