Impedance Analysis: Measuring Low and Fast

Precision, accuracy and measurement speed are three critical aspects to consider in any impedance measurement. This webinar addresses all three aspects with two distinct impedance measurement scenarios featuring the Zurich Instruments MFIA Impedance Analyzer.

In the first example, you'll learn how to use the LabOne User Compensation to measure equivalent series resistance (ESR) below 1 mOhm and equivalent series inductance (ESL) below 20 nH fior a DC-Link capacitor. You'll also find out how the LabOne Sweeper tool can display ESR and ESL as a function of frequency, allowing you to see how these values vary at frequencies other than the test frequency given by the manufacturer.

The second example will provide you with an overview of fast capacitance measurements on the timescale of microseconds. Such fast measurements are important to investigate the transient behavior of devices and materials. When measuring capacitive transients, the goal is to find a balance between measurement speed and precision: here you'll learn how the LabOne Plotter tool and data acquisition (DAQ) module can help you to optimize the relevant measurement parameters.

The two measurement scenarios discussed in this webinar will equip you with the knowledge required to measure your devices and material samples with confidence.
