We're a small parts testing
house) I assume you do testing for profit, this is an Amateur Radio newsgroup. But, since you asked :-). These are definetly feedthru caps and they want them verified to be Zo of 50 +/- 10. The Zc of a capacitor (capacitive reactance) is frequency dependent. Not sure what Zo of a cap. refers to. At some frequency the capacitor will have a Zc=1/2*pi *f*c. I am sure you know that. An ideal capacitor will have a Zc=0-jZc. A real world capacitor will have a non-zero real part of R+-jX. To have the real part 50 ohms( Zo), must mean the frequency is in the VHF region or higher. To measure what you want, you need a Z meter with the capability of measuring the complex impedance of the feed-thru capacitors at the frequency of interest. I have an antenna analyzer that I use for that sort of thing, but it only reads capacitive reactance at the frequency of interest. Not sure if this helps? 73 Gary N4AST |
