Distributed capacitive/resistive electronic device

A distributed capacitive/resistive electronic device. An electronic device is described which includes a dielectric substrate, a first resistive component, a second resistive component, and a connecting component. The first resistive component is affixed to a first side of the dielectric substrate. The second resistive component is affixed to a second side of the dielectric substrate, wherein the second side is oppositely located from the first side. The connecting component is affixed to the dielectric substrate, wherein the connecting component electrically connects the first resistive component to the second resistive component, wherein the connecting component is electrically connectable to other electronic circuitry, and wherein, at a location removed from the connecting component, the second resistive component is electrically connectable to other electronic circuitry.
