MLC frequency selective circuit structures
First Claim
1. A multilayer ceramic (MLC) frequency selective circuit that combines an inductive effect and a capacitive effect in an integrated structure which functions as a frequency dependent circuit, comprising:
- a multilayer ceramic substrate defining at least first and second spaced planes, the first and second spaced planes containing respectively a first and second plurality of metal shaped segments;
a plurality of conductive vias connecting the first plurality of metal shaped segments in the first plane with the second plurality of metal shaped segments in the second spaced plane, thereby forming a conductive solenoid/toroid coil structure in a multilayer ceramic frequency selective circuit.

Abstract
MLC (multilayer ceramic) frequency selective circuit structures are disclosed. The MLC frequency selective circuit structures have a solenoid and toroid coil geometry in a multilayer electronic package which functions as a frequency selective tuned circuit in which both the number of turns and the aspect ratio of the solenoid coil are selected to adjust the tuned frequency. In some embodiments, a plurality of such coils can be connected together to provide a selected bandwidth about a tuned center frequency.
