Dielectric Material Test Fixture

More info

The Agilent 16453A is designed for accurate dielectric
constant and loss tangent measurements on the Agilent E4991A/4291A/B.
It employs the parallel plate method, which sandwiches the material
between two electrodes to form a capacitor.
The Agilent E4991A/4291A/B measures the capacitance created from the fixure,
and option 002 firmware calculates the relative complex permittivity
as described in the Agilent 16451B.
Adjustment to insure parallel electrodes is required when using the Agilent 16451B.
This adjustment is not required with the Agilent 16453A because the fixure has a
flexible electrode that adjusts automatically to the material surface.
