Vrenda,
The X2Y web site www.xy2.com has an application note that I wrote for
extracting capacitor parameters. That method uses S21.
A couple of points:
1. The smaller the test board the better to extract the ESL of a raw
capacitor. A 2x2 board will up to 500MHz or so.
2. The simple single RLC model is overly pessimistic at high
frequency. See the DesignCon 2005 TK7 proceedings.
