Capacitor shield signal

Does shielding increase capacitance?

Shielding has a large surface area around the conductors; shielding vastly increases capacitance. Because of the huge increase in capacitance when shielded wire is used, the capacitive lag caused by using shielded wire can corrupt the intended signals. The shielding is an unintended capacitor.

What is the difference between a capacitor and a shield?

A capacitor is "two or more conductors separated by an insulator (s)". If there are two conductors in a cable, and each conductor has an insulator, that is one capacitor. Adding a shield around the two conductors is adding another conductor around the two wires. Between each of the two inner conductors and the shield is an added capacitor.

What happens if a shield carries a signal current?

Worse, the shield will carry signal current, making it no longer a shield. A device's own ground noise currents will radiate from connectors and cables if there is a potential difference between chassis and circuit ground (common impedance coupling) because those common-mode noise currents will otherwise use the chassis as a monopole counterpoise.

Does active shielding affect capacitance measurement readings?

Fortunately, there are ways to help mitigate these factors so it does not affect the capacitance measurement readings. One of those ways is through active shielding. The FDC1004 features active shield drivers which can reduce EMI interference and help focus the sensing field of a capacitive sensor.

What is the difference between a signal ground and a cable shield?

"Signal ground" is both the return path for signal currents and a voltage reference called 0V, the latter substantially because of the former (Ott, §3.2). Cable shields are not grounds, they are noise current sources. Shields separate noise currents from signal currents.

Does a concave shield improve the quality factor of MIM capacitors?

Abstract: A novel shielding scheme is developed by inserting a concave shield between a metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitor and the silicon substrate. Chip measurements reveal that the concave shield improves the quality factor by 11% at 11.8 GHz and 14% at 18.8 GHz compared with an unshielded MIM capacitor.

AC Shield Enhances Remote Capacitive Sensing

Figure 2. ACShield eliminates capacitance between the sensors and the shield.

Cable Shield

The shield should not be used to carry signal return currents unless it is at RF and you are using coaxial cable. Noise currents induced in it will add to the signal, nullifying the effect of the shield.
