1. Frequency characteristics of capacitors The impedance Z of an ideal capacitor (Fig. 1) is shown by formula (1), where ω is the angular frequency and C is the electrostatic capacitance of the capacitor.
In the capacitive characteristic region, the larger the capacitance, the lower is the impedance. Moreover, the smaller the capacitance, the higher is the resonance frequency, and the lower is the impedance in the inductive characteristic region. Our explanation of the frequency characteristics of capacitor impedance may be summarized as follows.
Frequency characteristics of an ideal capacitor In actual capacitors (Fig. 3), however, there is some resistance (ESR) from loss due to dielectric substances, electrodes or other components in addition to the capacity component C and some parasitic inductance (ESL) due to electrodes, leads and other components.
The capacitance of a capacitor can change value with the circuit frequency (Hz) y with the ambient temperature. Smaller ceramic capacitors can have a nominal value as low as one pico-Farad, ( 1pF ) while larger electrolytic’s can have a nominal capacitance value of up to one Farad, ( 1F ).
The interaction between capacitance and frequency is governed by capacitive reactance, represented as XC. Reactance is the opposition to AC flow. For a capacitor: where: Capacitive reactance XC is inversely proportional to frequency f. As frequency increases, reactance decreases, allowing more AC to flow through the capacitor.
Capacitors are thus used to shunt unwanted noise (AC components) away from signals or power supply lines to GND, for example. The following graph shows the frequency characteristics of the impedance of capacitors with different electrostatic capacitances.
