Eliminating the Effect of the Parasitic Capacitor
When measuring the high impedance component (i.e. low
capacitor), the parasitic capacitor becomes an important issue
(Figure 3.6). In figure 3.6(a), the parasitic capacitor Cd is
paralleled to DUT as well as the Ci and Ch. To correct this
problem, add a guard plane (Figure 3.6(b)) in between H and L
terminals to break the Cd. If the guard plane is connected to
instrument guard, the effect of Ci and Ch will be removed.
