Residual Inductance of the Shorting Bar
The usual method to compensate the test xture's residual inductance is to let SHORT = 0H.
In this method, the measurement result is the relative value of the measured impedance to the
shorting bar's impedance. The short bar's residual inductance as a result of its size and shape is
not estimated.
On the other hand, there is a denition method to let SHORT = x H. In this method, the
measurement result is the absolute value of the device's impedance. The short bar's residual
inductance as a result of its size and shape is estimated under specic conditions and is used as
a reference value. This method, is useful for devices with values which are close to the short
conditions of the measurement system.
The reference inductance values presented Table 1-2 and Table 1-3 were simulated as the
relative dierence to a disk-type 0 termination on either the 7 mm or the 3.5 mm connector.
The measurement of these short bars under other conditions than shown below cannot
reproduce the reference inductance values.

Preparation for Use
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the 16192A. The topics include the following:
Initial inspection.
Connecting the test xture for use.
Repackaging the test xture for shipment.
Measurement error correcting function for each instrument.
Initial Inspection
The parallel electrode SMD test xture has been carefully inspected before being shipped
from the factory. It should be in perfect physical condition, no scratches, dents or the like. It
should also be in perfect electrical condition. Verify this by carefully performing an incoming
inspection to check the parallel electrode SMD test xture set for signs of physical damage and
missing contents. If any discrepancy is found, notify the carrier and Agilent Technologies. Your
Agilent Technologies sales oce will arrange for repair and replacement without waiting for
the claim to be settled.
Inspect the shipping container for damage. Keep the shipping materials until the inspection is
completed.
Verify that the shipping container contains everything shown in Figure 2-1 and listed in
Table 2-1.
Inspect the exterior of the 16192A for any signs of damage.

Operation
Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the test xture and the measurement error correcting
techniques for the test xture.
Operating Flow
Before performing a measurement, you have to compensate for the residual error of the test
xture by using the measurement error correcting functions. Perform the following steps when
measuring the DUT:
The 16192A has inherent stray capacitance, residual inductance, and residual resistance that aect the
measurement. To compensate for these residuals and thus minimize their eect on measurement accuracy, the
measurement instrument's OPEN and SHORT compensation capabilities must be used.
( 7 indicates procedures in the following pages.)
Described in Chapter 2.
The 16192A's electrical length is 11 mm (typical value).
To set the electrical length, see your analyzer's Operation Manual.
To set the xture and devices for xture compensation, see:
\How to set the SHORT condition, and the OPEN condition"
These procedures show how to set the test xture for the
OPEN/SHORT/LOAD compensation procedure.
For how to measure OPEN/SHORT/LOAD, see the Operation Manual
supplied with your analyzer. (You can omit LOAD compensation.)
7
To connect the DUT, see:
7 \How to connect the DUT"
3 The compensating functions are dierent for each instrument. See Table 2-2 and perform the listed functions.

If your 16192A test xture was manufactured earlier than 1996 and you need
to replace either the plate (Figure 4-7: 3) or the contact assembly (Figure 4-7:
5), it will be necessary to buy replacements for both parts (Figure 4-6: 3
and 5) since they were modied at the same time. Neither of the new parts
(Figure 4-6: 3 and 5) can be tted to the other obsolete parts (Figure 4-7: 3 and
