Method of forming a sensor for sensing signals on conductors
First Claim
1. A method of forming a sensor for sensing signals on conductors comprising:
- forming a plurality of antenna element openings in a plurality of green tape ceramic sheets, wherein each antenna element opening comprises a central opening and annular opening surrounding the central opening;
stacking successive green tape ceramic sheets so that central and annular openings are aligned with each other while also forming a planar sensor face that is to be placed adjacent to conductors to be sensed;
filling the central openings and annular openings with conductive paste;
heating the stacked green tape ceramic sheets to cure the green tape ceramic sheets and conductive paste; and
mounting a signal processing integrated circuit on the side opposite the planar sensor face that is to be placed adjacent the conductors to be sensed and connecting the cured conductive paste filling the central opening to the signal processing integrated circuit.

Abstract
A method of forming a sensor for sensing signals on conductors includes the step of forming a plurality of antenna element openings in a plurality of green tape ceramic sheets. Each antenna element opening includes a central opening and annular opening surrounding the central opening. The method includes the step of stacking successive green tape ceramic sheets so that central and annular openings are aligned with each other while also forming a planar sensor face that is to be placed adjacent the conductors to be sensed. The central openings and annular openings are filled with conductive paste. The stacked green tape ceramic sheets are heated to cure the green tape ceramic sheets and conductive paste. A signal processing integrated circuit is mounted on the side opposite the planar sensor face that is to be placed adjacent the conductors to be sensed. The method also includes the step of connecting the cured conductive paste filling central opening to the signal processing integrated circuit.
