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.

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.
