Hi All,
I am trying to simulate a device we use which is very similar to a capacitor. The only trouble is its in the Femto range.
The smallest cap i can find (SMT) is 0.47pf which is close enough for what i want to do. My problem is i have to apply a charge to this cap using a pulse from a pulse generator. Becasue the cap is so small i am wondering if the leads etc connecting the pulse gen signal to my cap will be added to the value of my cap and it wont look like the value i require.
Assuming i use a typical BNC to BNC coaxial lead.
As far as iam aware there is nothing i can do to prevent capacitances adding themselves up. Am i on the right path?
Thanks
Andy
