Abstract: Embodiments of a broadband capacitor in a coaxial line are described. A capacitor may be realized in the center conductor of the coaxial line, and this aspect has two different embodiments. One embodiment forms the capacitor between the flat faces of an interrupted inner conductor structure. A second embodiment forms the capacitor between overlapping fingers of the female inner conductor and the male inner conductor, where the fingers can be realized in different ways. In another embodiment, a capacitor is realized in the outer conductor of the coaxial line, between fingers of a female portion of the outer conductor and a male portion of the outer conductor, where the fingers can be realized in different ways.
