LCR meters
Description
LCR meters are measurement tools dedicated to the characterization of electrical properties R (resistance), L (inductance) or C (capacitance) of electronic components at a specified frequency.
Specifications (Agilent E4980A)
- Low frequencies: 20 Hz to 2 MHz
- Measured characteristics: R, L, C, Z, X, Y, G, B, D, Q
- Accuracy: 0.05%
- Sampling frequency: 178 samples/s
- Ports: USB, LAN, GPIB.
Specifications (Agilent 4287A)
- High frequencies: 1 MHz to 3 GHz
- Measured characteristics: R, L, C, Z, X, Y, G, B, D, Q
- Accuracy: 1%
- Sampling frequency: 111 samples/s
- Ports: USB, RS232.
Applications
- Measurement of characteristics of through-hole elements (resistors, capacitors, coils) or specific components (antennas, solenoid valves, etc.)
- Measurement of characteristics of SMD components (Surface-Mount Device) of very small size (down to 0.5 mm x 0.25 mm)
- Measurement of characteristics of components with very small values (four-point method).
