ABSTRACT:
An impedance meter includes a floating type ammeter which measures a voltage across a current detection resistor and determines a current flowing therethrough. A balun eliminates the common mode voltage component in the high frequency range; and a differential amplifier eliminates the common mode voltage component in the low frequency range. The common mode rejection (common mode elimination) effect of the balun and differential amplifier crosses over at a crossover frequency where the impedance of an capacitor and the impedance of the balun are equal. As a result, the impedance meter is capable of measuring a broad range of impedances across a wide range of frequencies, both the low frequency and high frequency range.
