7.1 BJT Varactor CV Mismatch: BJT Varactor capacitance CV characteristics
mismatch (A.01.11)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures the BJT varactor capacitance (C-Vce characteristics) of device A, and measures the C-Vce
characteristics of device B. After that, calculates the differences between capacitance values by using the
following formula, and plots the results.
DeltaCp=(CpBList-CpAList)/CpAList*100 for parallel capacitance
DeltaCs=(CsBList-CsAList)/CsAList*100 for series capacitance
For a more accurate measurement, perform correction data measurement at the measurement frequency before
starting the capacitance measurement.
If the measurement frequency is not included in the list of default frequencies below, click the Advanced
Options... button and set the measurement frequency on the Frequency area of the Advanced Options for CMU
Calibration window.
Default frequencies:
1 k, 2 k, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 1.2 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, 2.5 M, 2.7 M, 3 M, 3.2 M, 3.5 M,
3.7 M, 4 M, 4.2 M, 4.5 M, 5 MHz
