Keysight Technologies E4982A LCR meter

Keysight Technologies has introduced three low-frequency options for its E4982A LCR meter. The options make the meter suitable for RF inductor, coil and EMI filter manufacturers that are required to perform impedance testing at various frequencies.

Today’s smartphones and other electronic equipment often utilise components such as inductors and EMI filters. Ensuring these passive components operate as expected in the real world requires impedance testing during production, as well as during quality assurance.

The LCR meter options allow manufacturers to easily test passive components at desired frequencies. The options cover the 1 to 300 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz frequency ranges. The frequency range options complement the product’s existing 3 GHz measurement capability. Frequency upgrade options are also available.

The meter is used in passive component manufacturing where impedance testing is required. The device features high measurement speed, 0.8% basic accuracy with good measurement repeatability and a wide impedance measurement range in all frequency options. Its powerful functions make it suitable for use in manufacturing, R&D and quality assurance.
