👉 The term "miniate" is a technical term used in electronics, specifically in the context of RF (Radio Frequency) circuits. It refers to a specific type of capacitor or diode that is commonly used in RF circuits for filtering out unwanted signals and amplifying the desired signal. Miniates are typically used as filters because they have a very high capacitance and low resistance, which allows them to effectively filter out unwanted frequencies while allowing the desired signal to pass through at a much lower frequency.
