STEP 1. Preparation for Measurement
Selection of DUT and Test Fixture
The test fixtures are used to provide measurements that have high stability and
repeatability. Agilent Technologies provides test fixtures for different sizes and types of
SMDs (surface mounted devices) such as chip inductors and chip capacitors. The
following test fixtures can be used with the E4991A.
o 16191A
o 16192A
o 16193A
o 16196A/B/C
o 16197A
NOTE
Select the appropriate test fixture depending on the type and size of the DUT by referring
to "Test Fixtures Available for E4991A" on page 36.
This chapter describes measurement examples using a chip inductor of 1608
mm/0603 inches in size as the DUT and the 16197A as the test fixture.
