An impedance analyzer is an electronic instrument used to measure the impedance of a device or material as a function of frequency. Impedance, a complex quantity, describes the opposition to alternating current and includes both resistance and reactance. An impedance analyzer typically applies a small alternating voltage to the device under test (DUT) and measures the resulting current. By analyzing the amplitude and phase relationship between the voltage and current, the impedance can be accurately determined across a wide range of frequencies.

These instruments are crucial for characterizing electronic components such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors, as well as for studying the dielectric properties of materials, the electrochemical behavior of batteries and fuel cells, and the performance of semiconductor devices. The frequency range of impedance analyzers can vary significantly, from very low frequencies (milliHertz) to very high frequencies (gigaHertz), depending on the specific model and its intended applications. Data is often presented in various formats, including Nyquist plots, Bode plots, or as tabular data, allowing for detailed analysis of device behavior. Modern impedance analyzers often incorporate sophisticated software for data acquisition, analysis, and control.
