Abstract
Abstract An electrical connection board containing a number of planes of conducting elements, with each pair of planes attached to the two faces of an insulating plate, arranged so that the conducting elements of one plane do not overlap those of other planes, with regularly spaced rows and columns of metallized connecting holes interposed therethrough. The conducting elements are capable of transmitting high-frequency pulses exhibiting steep edges without undesirable cross-talk phenomena resulting.
