Abstract :
A simple method for the design of thick-film planars is established. The minimization of the inductance inherent in the internal filter capacitor is found to be important. An insertion-loss test fixture is investigated and used to measure the insertion loss of two filters. The performance of the higher-inductance filter is not as good as that of the low-inductance filter. A regression method is used to determine the equivalent circuits of the filters. The apparent variation of filter inductance and capacitance is presented
