Default "Standard parts" for rf amps?

Heck, that can happen before you hit 1MHz. Check out the ESL and ESR of a
47,000uF capacitor some time.


How about dielectric absorption ("soak")? I first encountered this in an
electrolytic capacitor being used for generating a sweep of about a
minute duration. The capacitor had to be kept shorted for several
seconds between sweeps in order for the charge to adequately empty, an
equivalent frequency of less than one Hz.
