10It is not possible to remove fringing capacitance,but the resultant phase shift can be modeled as afunction of frequency using C0through C3(C0+Clxf

11NoteIn some cases (when the phase response is linearwith respect to frequency) the response of an opencan be modeled as an equivalent “incremental”l

The inductance as a function of frequency can bemodeled by specifying the coefficients of a third-order polynomial (L0+ L1xf + L2xf2+ L3xf3),with unit
