This thread has contained discussion of series resonant frequencies (corresponding to zeros of board impedance), but no mention of parallel resonance (relating to poles in impedance expressions). It seems to me that the parallel resonant frequencies can be ascertained via several different techniques including analytical calculations, simulations, and measurements. I am very interested to know what is your recommended approach for evaluating/treating parallel resonance when analyzing/designing a power distribution system? Thank you in advance for your reply.
