Abstract

Impedance analyzers are essential equipment's for any engineer working in the domain of electrical circuits. The impedance of a circuit is determined by exciting this later with a sine voltage over a frequency span and by observing the current consequently flowing through it (or vice versa). The excitation level is limited to low amplitudes and in some cases, is not sufficient to reach the saturation/non-linearity zone of the circuit while it does have to be used, and therefore charactefized, in that zone. Different ways exist to expand the excitation level.

Electrical impedance

In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. In general, it depends upon the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage.

Network analysis (electrical circuits)

In electrical engineering and electronics, a network is a collection of interconnected components. Network analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the currents through, all network components. There are many techniques for calculating these values; however, for the most part, the techniques assume linear components. Except where stated, the methods described in this article are applicable only to linear network analysis.

Capacitor types

Capacitors are manufactured in many styles, forms, dimensions, and from a large variety of materials. They all contain at least two electrical conductors, called plates, separated by an insulating layer (dielectric). Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices. Capacitors, together with resistors and inductors, belong to the group of passive components in electronic equipment.
