First, the insertion loss a general filter is defined, and then the impact of the source and load impedance on the insertion loss is investigated. Simulations and measurements focus on the CL and LC filters. In Part II (to appear in the next issue) the performance of the Pi and T filters is evaluated and compared to that of the CL and LC filters.

A practical capacitor is a non-ideal component. Its circuit model contains series inductance (ESL) and series resistance (ESR). Although equivalent series resistance is often shown in circuit models as a constant value, it varies depending on operating conditions. ESR is resistance from a combination of energy loss mechanisms under specific operating conditions.
