Capacitor Measurements
This paragraph describes a practical example of measuring a ceramic
capacitor.
The basic procedure flow to perform this measurement is the same as the Basic
Measurement Procedure described previously. In this example, a ceramic
capacitor is measured under the following conditions.
Step 1. Turn the E4980A/AL ON.
Step 2. Set up the E4980A/AL’s measurement conditions by filling in the fields on the
MEAS DISPLAY page.
1. Move to the FREQ field using the cursor keys and input 1 MHz.
2. Move to the LEVEL field using the cursor keys and input 1.5 V.
Step 3. Connect the test fixture to the E4980A/AL (refer to Figure 7-18). The Keysight
16047E Direct Couple Test Fixture (general purpose) is used for this
measurement.
Figure 7-18 Connecting the 16047E
Step 4. To compensate for the Keysight 16047E’s residuals and strays, an
OPEN/SHORT correction is required.
1. Leave the Keysight 16047E in an OPEN condition as shown in Figure 7-18.
