Hello Micheal,

It is to be use as low pass filter in a RC circuit.
After a discussion with the engineer, there are a lot of chances that it
will not be use on my actual design, (room problems)

But I still would love to hear what you have to say about it, and where to
find more information on the subject.
Because it will happen eventually.

Cheers,

Jimmy

        What is the intended use? If you want to use those printed
capacitors
        for high frequency applications mind the transmission line behaviour
        of those structures.

        That's a useful document, but it is not about "printed capacitance,"
per
        se, but about the usage of distributed plane capacitance to
supplement or
        replace discrete bypass capacitors....
