In general, impedance Z is used to evaluate the characteristics of, for example, circuit components.
Measure voltage and current vectors for circuit components relative to AC measurement frequency sig-
nals. The unit uses these values to obtain the impedance
Z and phase difference
. The following values
can be obtained from impedance
Z by rotating the impedance Z around the complex plane.
Furthermore, admittance
Y that is the reciprocal of impedance Z can also be used depending on the char-
acteristics of circuit components. As in the case
of impedance
Z, the following values can also be obtained from admittance Y by rotating the admittance Y
around the complex plane.
