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:

Jean
