Sukumar-
He just plugged your 0.2pF device capacitance and the desired frequency into 
the following EE101 equation. The Touchstone .s2p data didn't even come into 
play.

Xc = 1/(2*PI*F*C)

 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

more often used for shunt tuning. Orin -----Original Message----- From:

Subject: [SI-LIST] Capacitor S parameter Hi Experts, Currently I&#39;m doing a 
RF Signal S-parameter simulation. 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
