Abstract
An orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor. The orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor includes a plurality of external surfaces, a low frequency portion, and a high frequency portion. The high frequency portion is so disposed on, and electrically connected to, the low frequency portion so as to allow the orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor to work identically when mounted on any external longitudinal surface of the plurality of external surfaces thereof and thereby be readily SMT compatible without regard to special orienting procedures.
Claims46
An orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor, comprising:
- a) a plurality of external surfaces;
- b) a low frequency portion;
- and
- c) a high frequency portion;
- wherein said high frequency portion is so disposed on, and electrically connected to, said low frequency portion so as to allow said orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor to work identically when mounted on any external longitudinal surface of the plurality of external surfaces thereof.
An improved ultra-wideband coupling capacitor of the type having a plurality of external surfaces, a low frequency portion, and a high frequency portion, wherein said improvement comprises:
- the high frequency portion being so disposed on, and electrically connected to, the low frequency portion so as to allow said improved ultra-wideband coupling capacitor to work identically when mounted on any external longitudinal surface of the plurality of external surfaces thereof.
