Abstract
A multilayer discoidal capacitor having a plurality of laterally spaced, planar electrodes disposed within a dielectric body and configured such that the capacitance characteristic of the capacitor is determined at least in part by the concentrated charge distribution in the "stray" electric fields arising between the edges of the electrodes and at least one cylindrical electrode extending perpendicularly to the planar electrodes.
Claims7
A multilayer discoidal capacitor comprising:
- a plurality of laterally spaced, planar electrodes disposed within a dielectric body;
- and
- at least one cylindrical electrode extending perpendicularly to the planar electrodes, all of said planar electrodes being separated from said at least one cylindrical electrode so that said plurality of laterally spaced, planar electrodes are configured such that the capacitance characteristic of the capacitor is determined at least in part by the concentrated charge distribution in "stray" electric fields arising at edges of the planar electrodes, wherein the capacitance characteristic of the capacitor is determined at least in part by the "stray" electric fields arising between the edges of said planar electrodes and said at least one cylindrical electrode.
