Abstract: A meter circuit for measuring the effective series resistance (ESR) and Q-Factor of a capacitive device has an operational amplifier with an input to which a source of AC input voltage is applied. A feedback circuit is connected between output and input of the amplifier. A series network is connected between the feedback circuit and ground. This network has an inductor of known Q-Factor in series with a capacitive device whose Q-factor is to be determined. Voltmeters measure the applied input voltage and output voltage of the amplifier. Where the series resistances of the inductor and capacitive device at resonance frequency have a low total magnitude, the meter circuit can be modified by inserting a wideband transformer, having very low output impedance, in the feedback circuit in series with an adjustable gain operational amplifier.

Abstract: A miniature side mounting high frequency blocking capacitor has a rectangular dielectric block in which are generally flat, L-shaped electrodes disposed alternately in opposite longitudinal, parallel orientation. The electrodes have lateral tabs whose edges are flush with one side of the block. A conductive layer covers this one side and is divided by a groove extending across the block to define two sections which are the electrical terminals of the capacitor. The capacitor may be mounted laterally to a circuit board by soldering the two conductive terminal sections thereto.

Abstract: A coil assembly has flat spiral conductive coils on an insulative slab. The coils are respectively covered by alternate insulative layers having open areas exposing inner ends of the coils to which conductive jumpers are connected. Outer ends of the coils are connected to other conductive pads on the slab. The coils are connected in series via the jumpers.
