Capacitance Compensation When Using
Switching Matrix
When the capacitance/conductance measurement is performed through Keysight
B2200A/B2201A/E5250A switching matrix, Keysight B1500A measures the
capacitance/ conductance of the path including a DUT (device under test), matrix
switches, extension cables and so on. So, the data measured by the B1500A is far
from the DUT’s capacitance/conductance.
Keysight EasyEXPERT provides the functions used to compensate the data
measured in the environments described in “Required Conditions” on page 3-51.
This section explains how to perform compensation.
• “Required Conditions”
• “To Create Compensation Data File”
NOTE Corrected data by the function is not guaranteed. But typical data (supplemental
data) is as follows.
Capacitance measurement accuracy (typical): ±1 % ±0.5 pF
This typical data is for the following measurement conditions:
Measurement frequency: 1 kHz to 5 MHz
Measurement range: Maximum 1000 pF
Measurement terminal: At the end of Keysight 16494A/B/C cable connected to
the switch module output terminals.
The typical data does not apply to anything extended from the 16494A/B/C cable.
The conditions described in “Required Conditions” on page 3-51 must be satisfied.
