Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with speci c
WARNINGS given elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the instrument.
The Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.

DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of ammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.

Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by quali ed maintenance personnel. Do not replace components
with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even
with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.

DO NOT Service Or Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering rst
aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not substitute parts or perform
unauthorized modi cations to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Agilent Technologies
Sales and Service Oce for service and repair to ensure the safety features are maintained.

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 de nition 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 speci c 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.

Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the 16193A. 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 small side 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 small side 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 16193A for any signs of damage.

2-4 Preparation for Use
Repackaging the Test Fixture For Shipment
If shipment to an Agilent Technologies service center is required, each test xture should be
repackaged using the original factory packaging materials.
If this material is not available, comparable packaging materials may be used. Wrap the small
side electrode SMD test xture in heavy paper and pack in anti-static plastic packing material.
Use sucient shock absorbing material on all sides of the 16193A to provide a thick, rm
cushion and to prevent movement. Seal the shipping container securely and mark it FRAGILE.

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 16193A 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 16193A's electrical length is 14.0 mm (typical value).
To set the electrical length, see your analyzer's Operation Manual.


To set the xture and devices for xture compensation, see:
7 \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.)


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.

Shorting device (Not shown in Figure 3-1) Used for short compensation.
Four types of shorting devices are supplied with the 16193A. Use one that has dimensions similar to the DUT.
When making a shorting device of same dimensions as your DUT, very low residual impedance and a high
conductivity metal (that is not easily corroded) must be used to construct the shorting device. (It must also be
clean.)
