cvu-bjt connections
The next figures show the basic test configurations. Note that the untested terminal must be
connected to the outer shield of the SMA cables to guard unwanted capacitance from affecting
measurement accuracy. For example, when measuring the collector-base capacitance (c-cb0), the
emitter terminal is guarded by connecting it to the outer shield of the SMA cables.
Refer to
Typical 4210-CVU test connections to a DUT
(on page 4-6) for connection details. Use only
the supplied (red) 100 Ω SMA cables for connections to the 4210-CVU. Be sure that all SMA cables
are the same length (1.5 m or 3 m).
After making or changing connections, be sure to use the Confidence Check diagnostic tool and do
connection compensation tests. Refer to
(on page 4-10) for details.
