An engineered transmission line for transmitting high−frequency data signals between two points of connection includes a dielectric body and a plurality of conductive elements disposed thereon, with the plurality of conductive elements being arranged in pairs for differential signal transmission. In one embodiment, the dielectric body is solid and has its conductive elements supported on its exterior surface. In another embodiment, the dielectric body is extruded and has grooves or raised lands formed therein. The grooves or lands support conductive elements formed thereon by a suitable plating process. A ground plane may be provided as a base layer of the dielectric body.

L'invention concerne une voie de transmission technique permettant de transmettre des signaux de données haute fréquence entre deux points de connexion et comprenant un corps diélectrique et une pluralité d'éléments conducteurs disposés sur celui-ci, la pluralité d'éléments conducteurs étant disposée en paires, aux fins de transmission de signaux différentielle. Dans un mode de réalisation, le corps diélectrique est solide et ses éléments conducteurs sont supportés sur sa surface extérieure. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le corps diélectrique est extrudé et présente des rainures ou des crêtes formées dans celui-ci. Les rainures ou les crêtes supportent des éléments conducteurs formés sur celles-ci au moyen d'un procédé de revêtement approprié. Un plan de masse peut être utilisé comme couche de base du corps diélectrique.
