1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first solid electrode;
a second electrode separated into subsections; and
a dielectric medium separating the subsections from the first solid electrode,wherein the subsections of the second electrode comprise a first group of subsections and a second group of subsections, wherein the first group of subsections is separated into two or more first subsections, and wherein the second group of subsections is separated into two or more second subsections,wherein the first group of subsections and the first solid electrode form a first group of capacitors, wherein the first group of subsections are arranged in a nested array configuration,wherein the second group of subsections and the first solid electrode form a second group of capacitors, wherein the second group of subsections are arranged in a nested array configuration,wherein each capacitor of the first group of capacitors is in parallel,wherein each capacitor of the second group of capacitors is in parallel,wherein the first group of capacitors is in series with the second group of capacitors,wherein the first group of subsections is connectable with a first terminal for receiving an input signal, andwherein the second group of subsections is connectable with a second terminal for providing an output signal.
