Appx. 1 Measurement Parameters and Calculation
Formula
In general, the impedance
Z
is used to evaluate the characteristics of, for example, circuit
components.
This instrument measures the voltage vectors of the object being measured against measurement
current vectors, and then determines the impedance
Z
and the phase difference
θ
from these
values. From the values of the impedance
Z
and the phase difference
θ
, the values of the
resistance and the reactance can be calculated using the following formula. These values are
illustrated on the complex plane are illustrated in the diagram below.
