[sdiy] Calculating cable capacitance effect

[Bernard Arthur Hutchins, Jr]

CheaterCheater asked:
“Really interesting - why does the DC shift happen?”

Orin Replied correctly:

“Asymmetric high frequency MHz oscillations can appear as "DC" offsets - sorta like low pass filtered PWM.”



Bernie adds:

Making a good sinewave oscillator (directly - not waveshaped) is skilled engineering.  Spurious oscillations are generally “accidental” and full of harmonic, including harmonic zero (DC). If I recall correctly, this one looked like a sequence of inverted U’s.
