Abstract
Expanding on our previous work on four terminal-pair air capacitors, we present a model for the frequency-dependent capacitance of ceramic capacitors for values ranging from 10 nF to 10 uF. Two measurements are necessary for the complete model. First, the location of the pole in the admittance in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 20 MHz. This measurement can be obtained with a vector network analyzer. Second, the dissipation factor at 1 kHz which can be measured with a capacitance bridge. From these two measurements, the relative change in frequency for frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 100 kHz can be constructed.Proceedings Title
