Characteristic Impedance

Characteristic Impedance Measurement

Characteristic impedance is one of the most fundamental electrical parameters in circuit design. Impedance measurements are typically performed using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) or Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) in combination with appropriate probing solutions.

Arcanum Advanced has established comprehensive TDR and VNA measurement capabilities, providing customers with flexible and application-oriented impedance measurement options.
