Gerald,

I measured the choke resonant frequency using a 2-port VNA S21 measurement.

I then calculated what the choke series-equivalent resistance and inductance would be at that resonant frequency using a combination of Fair-Rite's u' and u'' figures, and a 2-turn impedance measurement.

Finally I calculated what the parallel capacitance would need to be to resonate that impedance at the measured frequency.

Steve, is equivalent C something you measure or is it calculated?
If measured, how do you do that? If calculated, how do you do that?
Thanks,
Gerald K5GW
