For evaluating surface-mount components and testing materials, the 4291B RF impedance/material analyzer is an integrated package
designed to provide accurate testing at higher frequencies. For component manufacturers, digital and RF equipment designers and materials researchers, the 4291B offers these capabilities:
- Wide frequency coverage from 1 MHz to 1.8 GHz for testing RF components and materials.
- Improved measurement accuracy and repeatability over an impedance range of 0.1 to 50k
- Surface-mount device (SMD) test fixtures for different chip sizes of capacitors and inductors. Dielectric test fixture and built-in function to measure permittivity, including the relaxation time of the Cole-Cole plot (with option 002 and 16453A).
- Magnetic test fixture and built-in function to measure the permeability of ferrite material (with option 002 and 16454A).
- Direct measurement of impedance and material parameters versus time, humidity or temperature (with an external temperature chamber).
