Typical Measurement
Accuracy |
The accuracy depends on the impedance being measured, the quality of calibration and degree of averaging. Typical accuracy for 6 standard loads at 36 points over the available frequency range is tabled below in polar impedance format, after factory calibration, with Averaging = 64 and 100% power output.
- 1 Ohm, magnitude +/-7%, angle +/- 3 degrees
- 10 Ohm, magnitude +/-1%, angle +/- 0.5 degrees
- 50 Ohm, magnitude +/-0.2%, angle +/- 0.2 degrees
- 1k Ohm, magnitude +/-2%, angle +/- 1 degrees
- 10k Ohm, magnitude +/-5%, angle +/- 2 degrees
- 100k Ohm, magnitude +/-7%, angle +/- 3 degrees
