Question 1

What is the primary issue with open-circuit measurements at RF?

  • All current ceases
  • Parasitic capacitance allows current
  • Voltage only exists

💡 Hint: Think about how an open terminal behaves at RF.

Question 2

True or False: Short-circuit measurements can lead to zero voltage readings.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember that 'short-circuit' is not as ideal as it sounds.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an experiment to measure the open-circuit condition using Z-Parameters. Discuss potential discrepancies in measurements due to parasitic capacitance.

💡 Hint: Link the experiment with the concepts of parasitic effects.

Question 2

Develop a simulation model reflecting realistic conditions of short-circuiting ports. Identify how parasitic inductances might influence the generated results.

💡 Hint: Model your circuit accurately keeping real elements in mind.
