Dear Zhangkun, NPO capacitors may be useful if you have to target a smaller number of specific frequencies. For wide-band solutions, at high frequencies, only inductance (and loss) matters. And inductance is lower for non-NPO parts, because you can get more capacitance in a smaller body, hence inductance is lower. This does not mean that one cannot create a working solution with NPO capacitors, just for the same impedance profile, it takes more parts.

We have done some measurement about decoupling. 100nF could be useful for 10MHz. When the frequency is high, NPO should be used. > > Best Regards > Zhangkun > ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
