Hello all ,

any one know how i can calculate bypass capacitors in low frequancy analog cirucit ??

thank you

Thanks Jerry.

Back in 1978 a very seasoned engineer at Tektronix by the name of Gene Cowan took me aside and explained the whole supply bypassing and decoupling story. Very simple if you understand what is going on, but rarely talked about in schools. Anyway, I though I would carry on his legacy by writing it up and putting in on the web. While I at HP I used one of their LCR meters to characterize the various components used for bypassing and decoupling, and ran into some weird, seemingly non-physical results, which eventually resulted in the papers on dielectric absorption, lossy inductors, and fracpoles. All in all, a rather interesting thread.
