The patent application (Publication Number: US20240040693A1) describes a printed wiring board with unique features. The board includes a dielectric layer with first and second conductor layers on opposite surfaces, connected by a plurality of via conductors. These via conductors have an aspect ratio greater than 1, with a major axis in one direction and a minor axis in another. Additionally, the board may include a third conductor layer between the first and second layers, with via conductors arranged side by side and in contact with the third layer in specific portions.

Furthermore, the patent application extends to a multilayer resonator and filter based on the printed wiring board design. The resonator includes the same dielectric and conductor layers connected by via conductors with specific orientations and arrangements. The filter, in turn, utilizes the resonator's structure to achieve desired filtering capabilities. Overall, the patent application showcases innovative designs for printed wiring boards, resonators, and filters that could potentially enhance performance and efficiency in various electronic applications.
