1.3 Operating Principle 1.3.1 Operating Principle The ZA57630 applies a sine wave signal from an internal measurement signal source to the device under test (DUT). It then detects current I flowing through the DUT and voltage V applied to the DUT, performs discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and calculates impedance Z (= V/I) of each analysis frequency component from the obtained Fourier coefficient obtained through the DFT.
