Abstract
An optoelectronic assembly includes a circuit board having a set of signal traces, where one or more of the signal traces has a junction point that integrates a pad of a circuit element. Exemplary circuit elements include a resistor, capacitor, and an inductor. The junction point has a first width and a first thickness, and the one or more signal traces have a second width and a second thickness. The dimensions of the junction point and the dimensions of the one or more signal traces are configured such that the first width and the second width are substantially similar, and that the first thickness and the second thickness are substantially similar. In one embodiment, the first width is no greater than 125% of the second width.
