Analytical Model of the Wire-Bonded Interdigital Capacitor.

The wire-bonded interdigital capacitor (WBIDC) is an interdigital capacitor with short circuits across the end of alternate fingers that result in an improved frequency response. This paper presents the analytical and circuital models of the WBIDC, which are useful to design and to incorporate into an electromagnetic or circuit analysis computer-aided design program. Design equations of the WBIDC are also presented. The analytical model and design equations have been validated with numerical analysis and experimental work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
