Device Topology & Electromagnetic Behavior
An in-line high-frequency capacitor structure embedded directly into a 50 Ω microstrip or grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transmission line. Blocks direct current (DC) potentials from propagating between cascaded amplifier stages or test equipment, while presenting transparent (<0.1 dB) insertion loss to high-frequency RF signals.
Rogers RT/duroid® 5880 (εr = 2.20) for minimal pad parasitic capacitance.
- Tuned microstrip ground cutouts directly underneath capacitor solder pads to compensate for pad parasitic capacitance.
- Ultra-broadband multi-layer ceramic capacitor with single-layer porcelain dielectric.
