capacitor resonance and bypass capacitors
Hi Brian39,
You can download from the Murata website an utility(called Chip S parameter and Impedance Library),
**broken link removed**
this is for their range of capacitors.
Pick up a capacitor, and visualise the impedance of the capacitor. You will see at the self resonant frequency (SRF) the minimum of the graph.
At this freq. the parasithic inductance became resonant with the capacitor. Above this freq. the capacitor act as an inductor. Be aware, what capacitor are u using for bypassing
From UHF range to 2.4 GHz I use several capacitors in paralel (22pF, 100pF,1nF and 1uF/tantal
