Hi,
You need a CD decoupling for 10GHz for this application you can find at ATC as well as Dielectric Lab , Murata etc capacitors for low ESR and high SFR. ATC has the 500 series. The problem for your application is the parallel resonance which come after the series one. If you work around the series resonance you have no problem because you need

A TR line has aquivalent LC model (LPF with high cut off freq). As you move farther the ground then the aquivalent capacitor goes down (such as two capacitor plats). The characteristic impedance is Z0=(L/C)^0.5.
Means as C goes down Z0 goes up.
For a wide band capacitor you might use open stub with low Z0. For an inductor use high Z0 line. (...)

If this is a planar capacitor, you should use any planar tool (Sonnet, momentum, EMSight, etc.), you should not use volume meshers. Planar tools handle the very thin dielectric layers extremely easily, volume meshers struggle in such cases. You can very likely do your entire capacitor (if it is planar and no more than 2 metal layers) using (...)

If you want to simulate an interdigital capacitor in ADS you can only in momentum, from the EM field point of view (depends now what kind of result do you want from the simulation!!).

Well, you should remember the C=epsilon0*epsilonr*S/d formula. This is quite a good approximation for low frequency. You should simulate with planar EM simulator like momentum (ADS).
Is this cap used for decoupling? Why not use a radial stub instead then? Which stackup do you have?

1. The IC has a 'protection' mechanism that is triggered (activated) when the current exceeds a certain level (as measured by Sense1/Sense2 and compared to Vref). What happens then is that the output switches off. It is then restarted a certain time later (determined by the chopper rate, which is set by the OSC pin). This mechanism is then repeated

Low frequency breakdown occurs when the capacitive part (scalar potential) of impedance matrix completely overwhelms the inductive part (vector potential) of the impedance matrix. We can split the impedance matrix into two parts: Z = Z_A + Z_Phi, where Z_A is the part of the impedance matrix due to the vector potential and Z_Phi is the part due to

Voltage is applied so as to make electrons move, which is so-called current. When electrons are moving, they collide with mother-atoms, which causes the momentum change. The energy obtained electrons in the electric field is transfered to mother-atoms. Simply speaking, the momentum of mother-atoms are called heat. Higher voltage will give el

When you're close to self resonance, that means that parasitic capacitance, either substrate or winding-to-winding, is causing a resonance. If the Q is high, then resonance can be very narrow band! You therefore can't tune both matching and single-ended to differential convertion over a wide-band.
