How difficult is it to measure the self-resonant frequency of a capacitor?
The difficulty of measuring the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of a capacitor is greater than might be suspected. Of the several plausible techniques, none is without deficiencies. Methods of measuring the self-resonant frequency of capacitors are presented. Precautions and faults of the various techniques are discussed.
How a capacitor is used in a resonant circuit?
The tube is characterized by measuring the frequencies and bandwidths with both open and short circuits. Then the capacitor chip is inserted between the two conductors and held by the shorting plunger. From a full set of measurements, the ESR and Q can be calculated at the resonant frequencies.
How is the capacitance of a test capacitor measured?
The value of the test capacitor was measured using a capacitor meter that is calibrated to a known 1 nF capacitor, the capacitance of the fixture and leads was also compensated. Since the capacitance measurement is made at a lower frequency than the text frequency range, the absolute value may not be exact for the text frequency band.
How do you determine ESR in a ceramic capacitor?
For ceramic capacitors, the most accurate method of determining ESR at high frequencies (100 MHz to 1.3 GHz) is the coaxial resonant line method. This technique is based on the Boonton model 34A standard and used along with an RF signal generator and an RF voltmeter. Figure 2.
Why is a capacitor self-resonant?
As more systems run at ever higher frequencies and switching speeds, capacitor design and selection have become even more important. The capacitor self-resonant frequency causes your capacitor to stop behaving like a real capacitor and start behaving more like an inductor at high frequency.
How is resonant frequency measured?
resonant frequencies are measured by adjusting the signal generator until the peak reading is recorded on the millivolt meter. For each resonant frequency, the 3 dB bandwidth is determined by adjusting the frequency until the meter reading drops to 50 percent of the resonant value.
