Making Measurements
Calibration
Connect the three standard units, open, short, and load of the IM9905 Calibration Kit to the
reference surface (terminal) of the IM9906 Adapter one by one, and measure the respective
calibration data. This reference surface is referred to as the “calibration reference surface”. The
cause of errors between the impedance analyzer itself and the calibration reference surface is
eliminated.
The dened value differs according to the calibration kit to be used. For more information about how
to input dened values to the impedance analyzer, see the instruction manual of the impedance
analyzer and the Dened Value Setting Application Installation Procedure on the CD-R that came
with the IM9905.
CAUTION
While attaching and detaching the calibration kit, make sure that the internal conductor
of the calibration kit does not rotate. If the internal conductor rotates, it may cause
damage to the electrode.
When the calibration cannot be executed:
• Conrm that the calibration kit and the IM9906 Adapter are connected properly.
• Check that the DC measurement limit value of the impedance analyzer is appropriate.
• Connect the IM9906 adapter, calibration kit and the device with a 7 mm connector.
Recommended torque for the 7 mm connector is 1.35 N·m.

Short Correction
Short correction is performed to eliminate the device’s residual short impedance. The short plate is
used.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the screw in the center of the short plate, orient the screw
perpendicularly before insertion and tighten with an appropriate amount of force.
About short impedance
At high frequencies, a DUT’s structure and dimensions exert a signicant effect on impedance
values.
DUTs have a variety of shapes and dimensions, and it is not possible to precisely dene a short
impedance that will accommodate all of those possibilities. Although short correction is performed
to correct for the residual impedance of the test xture, the fact that short impedance is undened
means measured values will incorporate an error component.
There are two methods for performing short correction of the test xture.
• Using a short device with the same shape as the DUT
The value after short correction is the difference in impedance between the DUT and the short
device. The short device’s impedance will affect measured values.
• Using a xed reference without regard to the size of the DUT
The value after short correction is the sum of the DUT’s impedance and the impedance caused by
the effects of the xture’s electrodes. The impedance of the xture’s electrodes affects measured
values.
The device use a xed reference to perform short correction without regard to the size of the DUT.
Consequently, measured values include the impedance of part of the xture’s base plate and of
the L-side electrode. Since a deterioration in the xture’s residual impedance will affect measured
values, it is recommended to check the residual impedance on a daily basis.
You can also prepare your own short device with the same shape as the DUT you plan to measure
and use it to perform short compensation.
However, be sure to use the same correction method when comparing measured values.
IMPORTANT
Do not scratch the electrode and short plate of the device or touch them directly with your hand.
It may affect the measurement accuracy and reproducibility.
