High Resolution Dielectric / Impedance Analyzer ALPHA
 

The Alpha dielectric / impedance analyzer combines a high class precision broadband dielectric material characterization system with a typical impedance analyzer for the low and middle impedance range. This combination makes it an unique and easy to use instrument with exceptional overall performance.

The Alpha analyzer covers 16 orders of magnitude impedance range, 12,5 orders of magnitude frequency range and 2m° basic phase accuracy in a single instrument. This combination makes the it a powerful tool which sets the pace for electric analysis instrumentation. As a result, the Alpha can measure the permittivity, conductivity and impedance of nearly all materials or components broadband and over a wide temperature range without changing sample geometry or sample cells.
