Bleeder resistor for antenna isolator

摘要

A bleeder resistor is described for draining charge from capacitances formed in a three element isolator. The isolator includes a dielectric element having conductive coatings thereon to form a capacitance. A bleeder resistor is formed on the dielectric element by screening a thick film resistive composition on the dielectric element so as to create a discharge path between conductive coatings on the dielectric element.
