Abstract:
1. A method of making an orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor, comprising the steps of: a) securing an unterminated multi-layer capacitor of a low frequency portion of the orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor; b) coating completely the unterminated multi-layer capacitor of the low frequency portion with an adhesion layer having opposing ends, c) creating a circumferential slot around the adhesion layer and thereby electrically separating the opposing ends of the adhesion layer from each other thereby restoring capacitance and forming a slotted body; d) applying a solder dam coating to all surfaces defining the circumferential slot to protect the circumferential slot; and e) plating the opposing ends of the adhesion layer so as to form solderable connections and thereby form the orientation-insensitive ultra-wideband coupling capacitor.
