Hi,
I am trying to get the impedance plot of a 0.1uF capacitor (using VNA),
which has ESL and ESR associated with it. The frequeuncy response should be
a V curve. From the book, Frequency Domain Characterization of PDN by
Istvan Novak (ch-5) I realized that two port measurements are better
(measuring Z12 or S12) when Z << 50 ohms.
But for a single capacitor, how to get the V curve? If I connect it to
measure as Z12, I can measure it correctly for frequencies where Z<<50 ohms
only?

Thanks,
Anto
