Yeah, I had considered centering the SRF on the operating frequency of each band, but having two bands would mean I would have to populate the circuit with two different sets of capacitors. A more broadband approach is more manufacturable.
I really appreciate the help. I'm limited in the minimum size of the package/pads due to clearance requirements (1.3mm). Looks like I'm going to try and get the highest value in the 1206 package that has a SRF above 2.4GHz. Trying to work with AVX and ATC to see if they have anything they can...
What are the downsides to increasing the capacitance to a larger value, say 1nF (or higher). Clearly the reactance decreases, but life is always a series of tradeoffs :)
VE1BLL-
Understood that it is typically a series capacitor(s).
I've heard many people mention that they typically use 100pF as a value. I would need to make sure that the SRF is beyond my maximum operating frequency, correct?
Hello-
I'm looking for a simple method/circuit that provides DC blocking up to 2.4GHz with low insertion loss, 50ohm network. For this particular application, it needs to be redundant (ex. two capacitors in series) and rated to 125VDC. Spacing is also a requirement between terminals, which...
