Abstract
The present invention is directed to a multilayer ceramic capacitor that includes a plurality of active electrodes and at least one shield electrode that are each arranged within a monolithic body and parallel with a longitudinal direction. The capacitor may exhibit a first insertion loss value at a test frequency, which may be greater than about 2 GHz, in a first orientation relative to the mounting surface. The capacitor may exhibit a second insertion loss value at about the test frequency in a second orientation relative to the mounting surface and the capacitor is rotated 90 degrees or more about the longitudinal direction with respect to the first orientation. The longitudinal direction of the capacitor may be parallel with the mounting surface in each of the first and second orientations. The second insertion loss value may differ from the first insertion loss value by at least about 0.3 dB.
