DC Biased Impedance Measurement

This application note shows how to measure the gate resistance of a MOSFET and the voltage sensitivity of a ceramic capacitor.

The DC operation point or DC Bias can strongly influence impedance values. Especially the impedance of semiconductors or capacitors should be measured at the desired operation point. In this application note we show how the Bode 100 is used in conjunction with the J2130A DC-Bias Injector from Picotest to measure the Gate Resistance of a MOSFET and the voltage sensitivity of a ceramic capacitor.
