Convert Capacitor's VNWA-s1p data to capacitance.

Explanation of how to calculate capacitance from extracted VNWA s1p data.

Import the VNWA data of the frequency characteristics of the capacitor into EXCEL.

This is a plot of a 1000pF capacitor on an S11 Smith chart.

Explanation about extracted s1p data.

This is an image of a spreadsheet created to measure the S11 of a 1000pF capacitor using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNWA3E) DG8SAQ, and then import the S1p data into Excel to create a frequency response graph.
