Abstract

A novel circuit element is provided which exhibits the characteristics of a conventional series-connected capacitor-inductor network, but consumes only about half the surface area required by the conventional network. Particular utility of the present invention is found in the area of impedance matching in monolithic microwave integrated circuits, although other utilities are contemplated, such as, e.g. in other integrated circuit applications.
