Crystal Impedance /LCR Meter
Mobile radios and communicators
are increasingly expanding their
applications into homes and offices.
This makes the evaluation of crystal
resonator characteristics at higher
frequencies and/or lower drive levels
more critical. However, conventional
crystal impedance meters based on
the oscillation method cannot
properly meet the current measurement
needs due to the following
limitations on:
. High-end measurement frequency
(60 MHz or below)
. Applicable power level
The HP E4916A is a crystal impedance
meter based on the transmission
p network method which enables you
to:
. Test at high frequencies (1 MHz to
180 MHz)
. Apply low drive level (0.1 nW to
1 mW, when testing a 25 W DUT
with the p circuit).
