Capacitance Compensation When Using Switching Matrix - Agilent Technologies B1500A User Manual

NOTE

Capacitance Compensation When Using Switching Matrix

Capacitance Compensation When Using
Switching Matrix
When the capacitance/conductance measurement is performed through Agilent
B2200A/B2201A/E5250A switching matrix, Agilent B1500A measures the
capacitance/ conductance of the path including a DUT (device under test), matrix
switches, extension cables and so on. So, the data measured by the B1500A is far
from the DUT's capacitance/conductance.
Agilent EasyEXPERT provides the functions used to compensate the data measured
in the environments described in "Required Conditions" on page 3-48. This section
explains how to perform compensation.
• "Required Conditions"
• "To Create Compensation Data File"
Corrected data by the function is not guaranteed. But typical data (supplemental
data) is as follows.
Capacitance measurement accuracy (typical): ±1 % ±0.5 pF
This typical data is for the following measurement conditions:
Measurement frequency: 1 kHz to 5 MHz
Measurement range:
Measurement terminal:
The typical data does not apply to anything extended from the 16494A/B/C cable.
The conditions described in "Required Conditions" on page 3-48 must be satisfied.
