An alternative planar multi-cell structure integrated reactive module

An alternative approach to construct a planar integrated reactive module is presented in this paper. Enclosed in a planar core, a few copper strips plated on both sides of a high permittivity ceramic substrate generate a series of so-called L-C units. Various equivalent circuits may be realized with this chip-like module using different PCB interconnections between the L-C units. The experimental results show its potential as an integrated high frequency resonator. Good correspondence between experimental measurement and first-order simulations is demonstrated.
