Power Line Impedance Measurement

TBA

In this application note, we show how the Bode 100 can be used to measure the high-frequency impedance of equipment designed to be powered by mains voltage

The frequency range of interest is roughly 1 kHz to 1 MHz. The RF impedance of mains-connected devices is essential for e.g. power-line-communication. Very low impedance values at certain frequencies can drastically influence the transmission quality over the mains cables.
