Hi Orin and Steve, Thanks for your response. My RF signal impedance is 50 ohm. RF signals are routed in the top layer alone. Signal topology is, DUT-trace- capacitor-trace-SMA. Capacitor is series connection with trace. And capacitor value is fixed by my customer. I try to convey my customer. Could you tell me, how you calculated capacitor impedance through .s2p? Thanks, Sukumar Orin Laney <olaney@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: That's a 0.2 pF capacitor. Z at 5 GHz is 159 ohms. Perhaps you intended to use a larger value? Such small caps are more often used for shunt tuning.

One series capacitor is connected with RFSignal trace near the DUT side. RF Signal operating frequency is 5GHz. I downloaded s parameter(.s2p) model from manufacturer website ( http://psearch.murata.com/capacitor/product/GRM1555C1HR20BA01%23.html[1][1] )Capacitor part no:GRM1555C1HR20BA01 The insertion loss (S21)is very high up to 10 GHz. Is this capacitor support 5GHz or this capacitor allows only above10GHz Signal? How can i choose the capacitor which supports 5GHz? Looking forward for SI Experts answers. Thanks, Sukumar --- Links --- 1 http://psearch.murata.com/capacitor/product/GRM1555C1HR20BA01%23.html[2] ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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[3] For help:si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list[4] List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list[5] Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu[6] ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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[7] For help:si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list[8] List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list[9] Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu[10] --- Links --- 1 http://psearch.murata.com/capacitor/product/GRM1555C1HR20BA01%23.html 2 http://psearch.murata.com/capacitor/product/GRM1555C1HR20BA01%23.html 3 //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list 4 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list 5 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list 6 http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu 7 //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list 8 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list 9 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list 10 http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
