Fr search by peak mode

The E4915A/E4916A nds the resonance point by searching the

maximum impedance point. In this mode

, the maximum impedance

point is searched by decreasing in specied steps (same as Fr search

by phase mode) from higher frequency in search range.

In this way the resonance point search is performed. After the

impedance value of change alters from positive to negative, the

E4915A/E4916A sets the step frequency to 1/3 of its previous set

value and back to the opposite direction. It, then, starts searching
