Keysight Technologies 16452A - Setting the Instrument for Capacitance Measurement; Procedure; Performing a SHORT Compensation

Keysight 16452A Liquid Test Fixture 27
Operation
Setting the Instrument for Capacitance Measurement
Setting the Instrument for Capacitance Measurement
To measure the dielectric constant (), the test fixture uses a
capacitance-measurement method.This is done by measuring C
p
(parallel
equivalent capacitance) and R
p
(parallel equivalent resistance) and then
calculating the dielectric constant (
) and the dielectric loss (tan ).
Procedure
1. Select the measurement parameter "Cp-Rp":
2. Select the other settings depending on each application.
For the setting, please refer to your measurement instrument.
Performing a SHORT Compensation
Confirm that the 1.3 mm spacer and the shorting plate are set as specified in
the “Preparation of Test Fixture for Use” on page 21.
For the measurement setting, please refer to your measurement instrument.
The OPEN and LOAD compensations are not required for the 16452A.
