| | A simple question regarding blocking capacitors - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.
guest Post subject: A simple question regarding blocking capacitors Unread postPosted: Mon Jul 05, 2004 1:07 pm
during SpectreRF simulation, how much value should be assigned to the blocking capacitors on the input and output ports? Say, if I let the capacitor on the input be 1pF, then I can get one result, but if I change it to 1nF, the result will be another story. How to decide the proper values to use? Thanks

What frequency are You using. In simulation You can put as high capacitance as You wich. Just to achieve blocking effect. In real life You have to take into account other thing like resonaces, losses, parsitics and many more.

another way to think about blocking capacitors is as single pole high pass filters. You want your response to be well into the passband if at all possible.

hi,
just want to add that should be careful in using large capacitance values for blocking cap, as higher capacitance values, has lower resonance frequency, so that it might be inductance instead at frequency higher than f resonance :wink:
