Abstract
Transceiver components for a transmission line are described. A driver includes a first network of thin-film elements exhibiting giant magnetoresistance, and a first input conductor inductively coupled to at least one of the thin-film elements in the first network. At least one dimension of each thin-film element in the first network is configured with reference to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. A receiver includes a second network of thin-film elements exhibiting giant magnetoresistance, and a second input conductor inductively coupled to at least one of the thin-film elements in the second network. A termination impedance in series with the second input conductor has a value relating to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.
