13.9 Solar Cell Nyquist Plot: Solar Cell Nyquist Plot
(A.05.03.2013.0124_2013.02.27.1)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures Solar Cell's characteristics of anode-to-cathode capacitance (Cp, linear) vs frequency (f, log) and
makes Nyquist plot. The measurement frequency is 10 points per decade.
