Keysight Technologies is now shipping its E4991B impedance analyser, specifically designed for R&D, quality assurance and inspection engineers characterising and evaluating passive electronic components, semiconductor devices, dielectric materials and magnetic materials. The analyser offers unparalleled measurement accuracy (0.65 percent basic accuracy) for evaluating components over a wide impedance range, from 1 MHz to 3 GHz.

The analyser features accurate material measurement options that include temperature characteristics analysis from -55ºC to 150ºC (Option 007) and direct read function of permittivity and permeability up to 1 GHz (Option 002.

An optional DC bias function, Option 001, can be used with the analyser to supply DC voltage (± 40 V) and current bias (±100 mA) across the device under test. This allows engineers to easily observe their device’s behaviour under various DC bias conditions without having to use an external DC bias source. A probe station connection kit (Option 010) is also available that enables easy and accurate on-wafer or micro-component impedance measurement up to 3 GHz.

The impedance analyser is available in three different frequency ranges: 1 MHz to 500 MHz, 1 MHz to 1 GHz, or 1 MHz to 3 GHz and replaces the industry-standard E4991A. The analyser’s flexible frequency options allow engineers to select exactly what they need for their application today—with the least amount of investment—and easily upgrade later as the need arises.
