Feedthrough capacitor having reduced self resonance insertion loss dip
First Claim
1. A feedthrough capacitor, comprising:
- a dielectric body having a passageway therethrough;
an active electrode plate disposed within the body and having an end terminating at the passageway; and
a ground electrode plate disposed within the body in spaced relation to the active electrode plate, the ground electrode plate having a portion terminating at a point spaced from and in electrical isolation from the active electrode plate termination;
wherein capacitor Q is relatively minimized and equivalent series resistance of the capacitor relatively increased to reduce or eliminate self-resonance insertion loss dip of the capacitor.

Abstract
The self-resonance insertion loss dip of a feedthrough capacitor is reduced or eliminated by raising the equivalent series resistance of the capacitor, thus minimizing the capacitor Q. The equivalent series resistance of the capacitor can be raised by forming voids in the active and/or ground electrode plates of the capacitor. The electrode plates may be formed so as to have a relatively reduced thickness, or a relatively increased thickness. A conductive material having a relatively high resistivity may be used to form the active and/or ground electrode plates of the capacitor. Alternatively, the conductive material forming the electrode plates may have a dielectric material added thereto.
