tion of impedance errors caused by adapters and leads be-
comes necessary.
For frequency dependent components, make sure to perform
an OPEN and SHORT compensation for each of the 69 test
frequencies.
To compensate or eliminate this measurement error, it is
recommended to perform an open and short compensa-
tion (OPEN/SHORT compensation) with the LCR bridge
R&S®HM8118. For the open compensation, the measu-
rement adapter is connected without component. For
the short compensation, insert the enclosed short circuit
board into the two adapter contact slots (measurement
contacts). The compensation values that are measured
during the compensation process will be stored in the
memory of the LCR bridge R&S®HM8118 and are valid un-
til another compensation is performed. If any changes to
the measurement setup are implemented, it becomes ne-
cessary to perform a new compensation. For more infor-
mation about the OPEN/SHORT compensation, see chap-
ter 7.2.
8.2 Kelvin-Test Lead R&S®HZ184
The Kelvin test lead with Kelvin clamps allows for the
4-wire measurement of components that could otherwise
not be tested by means of conventional test adapters (for
instance, due to their size). The test lead is directly connec-
ted to the front panel BNC connectors via the four front
panel BNC sockets of the LCR bridge R&S®HM8118. The
leads of the red clamp are connected to H
the leads of the black clamp to L
ment is included in delivery.

8.2.1 Compensation R&S®HZ184
Due to their design, the test lead HZ184 and the terminal
clamps have a fringing capacitance, a residual inductance
and a residual resistance which impacts the accuracy of
the measured values. To minimize these impacts, the com-
pensation of impedance errors caused by adapters and
leads becomes necessary.
For frequency dependent components, make sure to perform
an OPEN and SHORT compensation for each of the 69 test
frequencies.
To compensate or eliminate this measurement error, it is
recommended to perform an open and short compensa-
tion (OPEN/SHORT compensation) with the LCR bridge
R&S®HM8118. For the open compensation, the test lead
without component and without the measurement clamps
are attached without being connected to each other (sepa-
rate arrangement).
Fig. 8.5: Short compensation R&S®HZ184
For the short compensation, the two connecting clamps
are connected to each other. The compensation values
that are measured during the compensation process will
be stored in the memory of the LCR bridge R&S®HM8118
and are valid until another compensation is performed. If
any changes to the measurement setup are implemented,
it becomes necessary to perform a new compensation.
For more information about the OPEN/SHORT compensa-
tion, see chapter 7.2.
