<p>The method of surface mounting radio frequency components includes using at least one radio frequency component (300, 810, 850) having a pair of input/output contact points (330, 332, 830, 832, 870, 872) or areas at corners on the underside of the component, wherein each of the input/output contact points or areas abuts the adjoining edges of the corners. The component is positioned relative to a pair of traces (846, 856, 858, 860) on a circuit for enabling an electrical connection thereto in a range of angular dispositions. By using a single non-customized component, adjacent components can be configured with a signal flow path of a range between about 0 degree (a chain configuration) and about 180 degrees (a "U" turn).</p> |
