5.2 Impedance measurement parameters of the R&S LCX
In addition to the characterization of the resistance, inductance and capacity of passive
components, the R&S LCX determines parameters like the quality factor (Q), the dissi-
pation factor (D), the phase angle (Θ), and the complex values of the impedance (Z)
and the admittance (Y).
The following tables show the parameter pairs that you can select for display.
