A joint effort between the US Naval Academy and the NIST resulted in the development of a method to characterize the capacitance and dissipation factor of a set of commercial standard four terminal-pair (4TP) capacitors. The method depends on network analyzer impedance measurements at high frequencies (40-200 MHz) and a regression of these measurements down to the frequency range of 10 MHz-1 kHz. This paper provides an analysis of the sensitivity of the regression parameters and the high-frequency impedance measurements.
