Abstract: A capacitor having a signal electrode connected to a signal conductor, a ground electrode connected to a ground conductor and a dielectric disposed between the two. In the capacitor, delay-time-dependent limits are moved to higher frequency ranges in order to extend the applicability in the frequency range. This is accomplished by the signal conductor or the ground conductor being spaced apart from the signal electrode or the ground electrode and thus from the dielectric having a high dielectric constant. The signal conductor or the ground conduct is subdivided into at least two conductor regions that are separated in the direction of signal propagation. Each of the conductor regions is electrically connected via at least one conductor connector to the signal conductor or to the ground conductor, respectively.
