Abstract :
R. F. tests were run on a large number of capacitors to determine practical ratings, define operating characteristics and optimize design. Frequency and thermal effects were encountered and analyzed mathematically. A system for reporting rating characteristics was developed, a derating curve was derived and factors influencing operation were defined.
