Ibrahim - Anti-resonance is another name for parallel resonance. It specifically refers to the high impedance peak that is obtained from connecting two different valued capacitors in parallel. Each capacitor will have it's own series resonant frequency (SRF, impedance dip). There is a frequency band between the impedance dip due to the SRF of the higher value capacitor and below the SRF of the lower value capacitor. In that frequency band, the first capacitor is inductive and the second capacitor is capacitive, forming the classic tank circuit (parallel capacitor and inductor). This creates the impedance peak that I like to call anti-resonance. It is kind of like matter and anti-matter. :) This terminology is used in a paper published in IEEE Transaction on Advanced Packaging, August, 1999 pp284-291, "Power Distribution system Design Methodology and Capacitor selection for Modern CMOS Technology," by a bunch of authors at Sun. A soft copy of the original manuscript is found under http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/files/ Look for the cpmt_1999.pdf paper in the Sun section. regards, Larry Smith Sun Microsystems > Delivered-To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message > Subject: [SI-LIST] anti-resonance > Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 14:09:25 -0500 > MIME-Version: 1.0 > X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.5762.3 > Thread-Topic: anti-resonance > thread-index: AcJC/PBhz0HE2Ft6RLGhis0eh4fr7g== > From: "Ibrahim Khan" <ikhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > X-archive-position: 3761 > X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 > X-original-sender: ikhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > X-list: si-list > > SI Gurus, > The concept of Anti-resonance has been mentioned lately in the group. > Can someone explain what this is and where to read about it. > > regards > Ibrahim Khan > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > 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 archives are viewable at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list > or at our remote archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages > Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: > 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 archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
