Keysight Benchtop LCR Meters

This video introduces Keysight Benchtop LCR Meters, designed to provide high‑accuracy impedance testing and comprehensive characterization of passive components. Beyond fundamental LCR measurements, these instruments evaluate a broad range of electrical parameters under controlled test conditions, supporting component designers, production engineers, and R&D teams working with capacitors, inductors, resistors, filters, and advanced materials.

With basic accuracy as low as 0.05%, Keysight LCR meters offer dependable, repeatable measurements essential for qualifying components used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, power supplies, RF circuits, and industrial applications. Built‑in error‑compensation capabilities—including open, short, and load compensation—minimize fixture‑ and cable‑related inaccuracies, ensuring that measurement results truly reflect device‑under‑test performance. Flexible test‑signal control enables tuning of frequency, test level, DC bias voltages, and currents, allowing accurate evaluation of nonlinear, frequency‑dependent, and sensitive components.

Standard LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces simplify integration into automated test systems and production lines, enabling remote control, data logging, and system‑level coordination. Keysight’s benchtop LCR family includes models tailored for different measurement needs—from dedicated capacitance meters used in ceramic capacitor manufacturing to precision LCR meters that support high‑frequency measurements up to 3 GHz for SMD inductors, EMI filters, and RF components.
 

Key features include:

• 0.05% Accuracy: Characterize passive components with highly accurate, repeatable measurements.
• Error Compensation: Use open, short, and load compensation techniques to minimize fixture and cable errors.
• Flexible Test Signals: Set frequencies, test currents, and bias voltages to evaluate nonlinear and sensitive DUTs.
• Multiple Interfaces: LAN, USB, and GPIB connections are standard for remote control and automated workflows.
• High‑Frequency Options: Precision LCR models support measurement frequencies up to 3 GHz for advanced components.
   

Keysight LCR meters and impedance analyzers enable precise characterization of passive components, provide insights into circuit behavior, and support complex impedance analysis across production, lab, and field environments.
