1. A transmission line comprising:
a layered stack that includes a plurality of metal layers and dielectric layers;
a reference electrode formed from a portion of a first metal layer of the layered stack; and
a stripline meandering along a meander pattern within a meander plane and having a surface that also meanders in a direction perpendicular to the meander plane, wherein the stripline includes a first stripline section that includes a first patterned conductive feature in a form of a first rectangular cuboid within a second metal layer of the layered stack, and a second stripline section that includes a second patterned conductive feature in a form of a second rectangular cuboid within a third metal layer of the layered stack, wherein the first and second rectangular cuboids are directly connected together.
