Incoming Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning
material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been
checked for completeness and the 16034G has been checked mechanically and
electrically. The contents of the shipment should be as listed in Table 1-1 . If the
contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, notify the nearest
Keysight Technologies office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the
cushioning material shows signs of unusual stress, notify the carrier as well as the
Keysight Technologies office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s
inspection.

2 Operation
This chapter describes the proper methods for open and short correction and DUT
measurement.
Operation
Performing Open and Short Correction
Performing Open and Short Correction
To enhance measurement accuracy, open and short correction should be done before DUT
measurement. The following procedure shows correction and measurement by the 16034G.
Take care to avoid rough handling and never allow any mechanical shock to the 16034G,
especially against the contact pins from the sides or any to the parts mounted on top of
the fixture.
Connecting the 16034G
1. Set the cable length to 0 m in the instrument.
2. Connect the 16034G directly to the UNKNOWN terminals as shown in Figure 2-1.

Performing Short Correction
The short correction procedure is as follows.
1. Push the HIGH side contact pin’s knob to the left to make firm contact with the LOW
side contact pin (Figure 2-2). Tighten the contact pin locking screw to secure the HIGH
side contact pin.

Operation
Performing Open and Short Correction
Performing Open Correction
The open correction procedure is as follows.
1. Push the HIGH side contact pin so that the distance between the HIGH and the LOW
contact pins matches the DUT’s width (Figure 2-3).
It is recommended that you place the DUT on the measuring stage and precisely
position the HIGH side contact pin to actual DUT width.
Before performing open correction, remove the DUT used for positioning by pulling
back the lever to release the LOW side contact pin.
2. Tighten the contact pin locking screw to secure the HIGH side contact pin.
Figure 2-3 Contact pin position for open correction
3. Perform the open correction as described in the specific instrument’s manual.
18Chapter 2
DUT Measurement
Before performing DUT measurement, open and short correction should be done as
described in the previous sections. If measurement frequency is over 3 MHz, perform load
correction before the DUT measurement described later onwards.
1. Adjust the HIGH side contact pin so that the DUT is positioned on the center of the
measuring stage and secure the contact pin with the contact pin locking screw.
2. Release the LOW side contact pin with the lever and set the DUT on the measuring
stage
3. Ease back slowly on the lever until the LOW side contact pin makes gentle contact with
the DUT.

Operation
DUT Measurement
4. Perform the measurement as described in the specific instrument’s manual.
5. To measure the same size DUT repeatedly, simply release the LOW side contact pin
with the lever when to changing the DUT without moving the HIGH side contact pin.
Chapter 2 19
Operation
DUT Measurement
Measurement values can vary depending on contact pressure when measuring ferrite
inductors or multi-layer ceramic capacitors with high permittivity. When measuring
this kind of device, removing the E-ring can weaken the spring pre-load. However, this
technique may increase contact resistance and thus degrades the accuracy of D parameter measurements.
Be sure to keep the contact pins clean at the points where they make contact with
DUTs.
DUT measurement over 3 MHz
Before performing DUT measurement over 3 MHz, performing load correction is
recommended.
The proportional error factor in the additional error caused by the fixture is in proportion to
the frequency squared. Therefore, the error increases greatly as the frequency goes high. To
reduce this error, perform load correction.
1. Set the 100 SMD resistor on the fixture the same way as a DUT measurement, and
perform measurement at 3 MHz to determine the value of the 100 SMD resistor.
2. Set the measured resistance and inductance values to the instrument as load value.
3. Perform load correction.
