Right-click here and save the Microsoft Excel demo illustration file. It calculates the skin-depth, shield impedance, reflection, absorption and total shielding.  Note: you have to enable macros to run the file.
 

  Right-click here and save the Microsoft Excel demo illustration file. It calculates the time-domain harmonic composition and harmonic magnitude series of user-defined waveforms with selectable rise and fall times.  


Right-click here and save the Microsoft Excel demo illustration file. It calculates the frequency-domain responses of single and multiple bypass capacitors with user selectable C, ESR and ESL.  Note: you have to enable macros to run the file.



Right-click here and save the plane-imp.pdf file, which shows the self-impedance plots of two 8”x8” planes with 2-mil FR4 dielectrics over the frequency range of 10MHz to 500MHz.The four cases shown side-by-side: 1) bare board, 2) 32 pieces of 0.1uF capacitors all at the center, 32 pieces of 0.1uF capacitors evenly distributed along the board periphery, 4) 32 sets of DET RCs.



Right-click here and save the Microsoft Excel demo illustration file. It calculates the self impedance of bare rectangular parallel plates at arbitrary locations.  Note: you have to enable macros to run the file.


Right_click here and save the  Microsoft Excel demo illustration file. It plots the self and transfer impedance surface of planes with a capacitor.  Note: you have to enable macros to run the file.
