From my experience, measuring the 'Zo of a feedthrough cap' would be something like measuring the 'color' of a miles/gallon rating of an automobile. Not an applicable unit of measurement. _________________________________________________ ________ Not at all. A feedthrough cap is essentially like a very short piece of coax. Think about it. If the capacitance is small, it could well "look" just like a short piece of 50 ohm coax. If the capacitance is large - 1000 pf or so - that's different. It would then look like a piece of coax with very low Zo. It all depends. No. 10 pFd at 1 GHz has a reactance of 15.9 Ohms. That tosses the VSWR in the bucket if that is part of a "line section." A "small capacitor" of 100 pFd at 100 MHz has the same reactance of 15.9 Ohms. Feed-throughs were designed to be SHORTS on purpose... |
