Patent ID: 7391281

Claim:
A method for suppressing resonant effect between shunt capacitors by adjusting the length of the transmission line of said shunt capacitors, comprising an equivalent circuit having a first capacitor, an equivalent circuit having a second capacitor and a transmission line, said equivalent circuits for said shunt capacitors; said method comprising the steps of: (A) selecting a frequency range, where said frequency range is the bandwidth of said shunt capacitors circuit, said bandwidth includes a maximum frequency and a minimum frequency; (B) calculating the characteristic impedance of said transmission line subject to the constraint on the width of said transmission line; (C) calculating said first capacitance of the equivalent circuit having said first capacitor subject to the median of said frequency range; (D) calculating said second capacitance of the equivalent circuit having said second capacitor subject to the minimum of said frequency range; and (E) adjusting the length of said transmission line subject to the equivalent circuit having said first capacitor, the equivalent circuit having said second capacitor and the characteristic impedance of said transmission line.
