You missed the point. A terminating capacitor is a two

This appears to be an unusual definition.

Not unusual at all, Gene. The two input terminals to the
black box are on one side. The two output terminals from
the black box are on the other side. The impedance
discontinuity is inside the box. The black box is extremely
small.

Give me the four s-parameters, s11, s12, s21, and s22
and I can tell you virtually everything about what is
inside the black box without even applying a signal.


BZZZT! Wrong answer.

Nobody ever said anything about the "other side" of the black box.

That's obviously a lie. I said something about the other side
of the black box.

Yet by your models and math the black boxes don't behave the same in
your test circuit.

That's another lie. All my models and math show the black
boxes all behaving exactly the same external to the two input
terminals. In fact, I have said it is impossible for it to
be any other way.

Is there no limit to how dishonest you will be?


No lies; just carelessness in a nit-picking contest.

As usual you have twisted the question so that you can provide some type
of answer. You still have not answered the original question posed by
Keith.
