6.1.6 BNC-to-BNC extension
The R&S LCX-Z11 BNC-to-BNC extension (1m) enables you to place the test setup in
the distance of 1 m from the site of the R&S LCX.

The extension also provides four BNC measurement ports for connecting a test fixture
or establish user-specific connection.
When you use the R&S LCX-Z11 BNC-to-BNC extension, you must set the cable
length to 1 m in the measurement settings for cable length compensation, see Chap-
ter 8.6.1, "Measurement parameter settings", on page 75.

6.2 Configuring the test signal
The accuracy of the measured impedance depends mainly on the test frequency and
level. Therefore, each measurement requires that you specify the test signal to obtain
results under defined conditions.
In addition to the frequency and level settings, e.g. to measure at a certain working
point, you can define a measurement range. E.g., if you want to analyze the behavior
of a component over a certain range. For measurements of coils or capacitors you can
superimpose a current, or voltage bias, respectively.
We assume that you have set up the R&S LCX as described in Chapter 4.1.4, "Setting
up the R&S LCX", on page 17. For basic information on setting up a measurement,
including the test signal, see the example in "Basic measurement steps" on page 32.
