Keysight Technologies E4980A Precision LCR Meter, 20 Hz to 2 MHz

E4980A Precision LCR Meter

Procedure overview

1. Preset system

2. Perform compensation of xture

3. Set measurement parameters

4. Connect DUT and measure at a single frequency

5. Set up list sweep table

6. Set trigger mode and make sweep measurement

In this demo...

– Measurement of chip SMD device

– Fixture compensation

– List sweep

Required Instrument and xture

Fixture for SMD device

(16034E/G/H, 16334A)

If the xture for SMD device is not available, it is pos-

sible to perform the same procedure with following

xtures. Use lead components in this case.

16047D 16089A/B/C/D/E16047E

1. Preset system

a. Press [Preset] front panel key

b. Press CLEAR SET&CORR softkey

c. Press OK softkey (wait about 20 seconds…)

2. Perform compensation of xture

a. Set xture to UNKNOWN terminals

b. Press [Meas Setup] front panel key

c. Select CORRECTION softkey

d. Move cursor onto OPEN eld by pressing

[▼] front panel key

e. Make open condition for the test xture

To make open condition, adjust the distance of the

two electrodes so that the separation becomes equal

to the length of the DUT (Figure 1)

f. Press MEAS OPEN softkey to perform open

correction

g. Press ON softkey

To activate Open correction, the status of the OPEN

eld should be changed from “OFF” to “ON.” (Figure 2)

Figure 1. Make open condition (for 16034E/G/H).

Figure 2. Turned on OPEN correction.

h. Make short condition for the test xture

i. Move cursor onto SHORT eld by pressing

[▼] front panel key

j. Press MEAS SHORT softkey to perform short

correction

k. Press ON softkey

To make short condition, short the test xture by

sliding the right (HIGH) electrode to the left so that

two electrodes contact to each other

3. Set measurement parameters

a. Press [Display Format] front panel key

b. Move cursor onto FUNC eld by pressing [▼] front

panel key

c. Press MORE softkey

d. Press Z-… softkey

e. Press Z-Fdsoftkey

f. Move cursor onto FREQ eld by pressing [▼] front

panel key

g. Enter 1 MHz (press [1] front panel key then press M

softkey)

4. Connect DUT and measure at single

frequency

a. Connect DUT to the test xture

b. You will see the impedance value (Z) at spot

frequency (Figure 3)

Impedance value can be calculated by following

formula. Inductive device: Z = 2 * PI * frequency * L

Capacitive device: Z = 1 / (2 * PI * frequency * L)

Figure 3. Measured value of 10 uH inductor at 1 MHz.

5. Setup list sweep table (sweep frequency

from 1 kHz to 2 MHz, 201 points)

a. Press [Meas Setup] front panel key

b. Press LIST SETUP softkey

c. Move cursor onto FREQ[Hz] eld by pressing [▼]

front panel key (4 times)

d. Enter 1 kHz (press [1] front panel key then press k

softkey)

e. Press PREV PAGE softkey

f. Enter 2 MHz (press [2] front panel key then press M

softkey)

g. Press FILL LOG softkey

h. Press NEXT PAGE softkey to see that the list

frequency is lled up (Figure 4)

Figure 4. List frequency lled up.

6. Set trigger mode and make measurement

a. Press [Meas Setup] front panel key

b. Move cursor onto TRIG INT eld by pressing [▼]

front panel key (4 times)

c. Press MAN softkey

d. Press [Display Format] front panel key

e. Press LIST SWEEP softkey

f. Press [Trigger] front panel key to make

measurement

By using E4980A Data Transfer Program, measure-

ment data can be easily transferred from the E4980A

to a PC (Figure 5). Visit Keysight website to download

the program.
