μblog: engineering from the trenches

To follow up the last post on resistor selection, here is a the Agilent Technologies Impedance Measurement Handbook. I found this handbook to be quite useful and well written as it covers everything from the basics of measurement problems to examples of both low frequency and RF frequency impedance measurements. The authors focused on the often overlooked parasitic properties of common system components as well as the measurement systems themselves. They go on to outline methods to construct test structures and procedures to minimize these parasitics and go on to give practical examples. For obvious reasons, all of the test equipment in the handbook is made by Agilent, however, other brands can be used just as well.
