What happened here? Where are all the circuit gurus to explain what I measured?
Seriously, would like to know if results all wet, or there's a lot going on inside a cap I didn't know about.
Again, The plot of C vs log(f) produced a rather linear straight line descending down as freq went up. The plot of log(Resr-offset) vs log(f) also had a similar straight line. with offset slightly less that 84 milliohms
QUESTION: Are these relationships real, or artifacts of technqiue and/or accuracy?
My point is, are the values about right or should I comb through the measurement technique?
DATA using 220 ohm 'sense' resistor over the range of 20 Hz to 1000 Hz: incredibly accurate straight line fit, to the data: Resr = 5/f + 80 milliohms C = (888.34-34.8*log10(f/20))*1e-6 in F
measured noise was in the range of 120 ppm rms and of course increased with frequency
The system is sensitive enough to see a difference of 4 milliohms in the way I slightly changed connections to the DUT.
Which implied to me maybe, just maybe, the straight line fit represent what's going on. But these are pretty nonlinear terms here.
So back to the question, anybody know?
