Dut Measurement Over 3 Mhz - Agilent Technologies 16034H Manual

Operation
DUT Measurement
NOTE
Measurement values can vary depending on contact pressure when measuring ferrite
inductors or multi-layer ceramic capacitors with high permittivity. When measuring this
kind of device, removing the E-ring can weaken the spring pre-load. However, this
technique may increase contact resistance and thus degrades the accuracy of D parameter
measurements.
NOTE
Be sure to keep the contact pins clean at the points where they make contact with DUTs.

DUT measurement over 3 MHz

Before performing DUT measurement over 3 MHz, performing load correction is
recommended.
The proportional error factor in the additional error caused by the fixture is in proportion to
the frequency squared. Therefore, the error increases greatly as the frequency goes high.
To reduce this error, perform load correction.
1. Set the 100 Ω SMD resistor on the fixture the same way as a DUT measurement, and
2. Set the measured resistance and inductance values to the instrument as load value.
3. Perform load correction.
