Up to 110 MHz (4-Terminal Pair) Material

Compensation and Measurement: Short compensation is

recommended in combination with the cable length compensa-

tion before measurement. First, set the instrument's cable length

compensation function to 1 m. Then, short compensation is

performed by using the furnished shorting plate. Open compen-

sation is not performed, but its values are used in the dielectric

constant equation as shown below:

CoRp

: : Correction coefficient

: Relative dielectric constant

Cp : Liquid capacitance (measurement data)

Co : Air capacitance (measurement data) or open compensation data

Rp: Equivalent parallel resistance (measurement data)

: Angular frequency (

The following figures below show how compensation and mea-

surement is performed.

Note: the 16452A is not capable of measuring salt or ionic solu-

tions or other liquids with bulk conductivity due to the electrode

polarization phenomenon.

Agilent is not responsible for any damage (e.g., corrosion, smear)

to the 16452A caused by the reaction between the liquid under

test and the 16452A.
