Developed Methodology let make the calculation of coaxial cable parameters with account of the frequency of the transmitted signal. The comparative analysis of parameters of RC 50-7-28 and RG142 cables has been made with the values have been got by the measuring with the circuit analyzer according to the reference book with the results of the calculations. Check the accuracy of the calculation has pointed out the necessity for account of complementary factors for the purpose of much more correct account cable attenuation in the frequency spectrum.

The authors consider the question of the limits of applicability of the capacitor method for measuring the real part of the dielectric constant of printed circuit boards and telecommunications cabled rail transport using the example of FR-4 fiberglass laminate and the cable PK-75-4-12 in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 100 MHz. The measurements were carried out at a constant temperature and humidity of a known material. Comparison of the obtained values with the passport data on the material is carried out; a measurement procedure is developed with overlapping frequency ranges by changing the values of the measuring resistors from larger to smaller with increasing frequency of the input signal. It is shown that in the high-frequency region, the measurement accuracy is directly affected by the parasitic inductance of the capacitor sample under study, as well as the active resistance of the leads and plates and its increase due to the skin effect. The article also discusses the ways of accounting and calculating the parasitic elements of a capacitor. One of these ways is to study the characteristics of the elements of the sample at the first proper serial resonance of the capacitor under study.
