This standard describes a test method to measure the loop inductance (1 nH – 10 nH range) in the frequency domain using probes and vector network analyzer.

NOTE — This test method is written for test professionals who are knowledgeable in the electronics field and are trained to use the referenced equipment. Because the measurement values are heavily influenced by the fixture and equipment this method cannot describe all of the possible combinations. The major equipment manufacturers provide Application Notes for more in-depth technical description of how to optimize the use of their equipment. It is imperative that the referencing document include the necessary description and sketches for the test professional to understand how to setup and perform the requested measurements.
