Integrated broadband ceramic capacitor array
A monolithic capacitor structure includes at least first and second plates internal to a dielectric body, the plates extending inward from opposed conductive contacts on surfaces of the body, and forming capacitor(s) therebetween. A third plate extends within said body, electrically floating relative to the exterior contacts, and forming a capacitor with the first and second plates, and further forming a capacitor with additional conductive structures connected to the conductive contacts on the body. The resulting array of combined series and parallel capacitors formed by the third plate, in conjunction with the capacitor(s) formed by the first and second plates, provides effective wideband performance in an integrated, cost-effective structure.
