How to measure output impedance with a multimeter
In this video we will be measuring output impedance of a function generator using a multimeter and a 1K resistor. You can use the same method to measure output impedance of an amplifier or similar circuits with AC output.
All maths needed is taken care of by a free web tool I developed at
funstacklabs.github.io/output-impedance-calculator.html
You can use any kind of multimeter for this job. I will demonstrate the method both with a true RMS and an RMS multimeter with great results.
This method applies to low frequencies and may not work with circuits especially with smarter adaptive output drivers but will work fine for most general purpose applications. Useful if you're building your own f...

    The procedure is correct, but: Breadboards are not ideal components, and they can create parasitic capacitance and inductance. These parasitic elements can alter the impedance and resonance of the circuit, which can cause the circuit to behave differently at high frequencies than at low frequencies. I recommend using a 1X1cm^2 phenolite plate with solder. Google (The effect of high frequencies on "breadboards"​)

Having said that I changed my distance to the mic a few times to get the levels that I like. There are two adjustments on the mic, one for mix between computer sound output and monitor from MIC, the other for headphone volume. I also almost always use some degree of noise suppression on software. May be that's why I didn't need gain adjustment.

    Thanks for making this video. Most modern function generators have a standardized output impedance of 50 ohm. Older units will have an impedance of 600 ohm. Small function generator kits may have an undetermined or unspecified output impedance as you observed. Here’s the way I approach the issue. Given Voc as the open circuit voltage of the generator, RL as load impedance, Ro as output impedance of AWG and Vm as measured voltage across load impedance we have a simple voltage divider circuitry with Vm = Voc*(RL/(RL + Ro)) If load impedance is adjusted to the point where measured voltage is one half Voc then 0.5*Voc = Voc*(RL/RL + Ro)) Solving for Ro we have Ro = RL That is, the point at which the measured voltage (across RL) is equal to one half Voc the load impedance is equal to the output impedance. (You are dropping equal voltages across both load and output impedance). In my case I have an AWG with 50 ohm output impedance. To measure this I simply set the AWG to some arbitrary voltage and measure Voc. Then place leads across a 100 ohm pot. Set to 100 ohm and continuously decrease pot and measure voltage until measured voltage is one-half Voc. Remove and measure RL of pot. That is your output impedance. In your case it would be necessary to use a 1 K pot. I typically use a 10 turn pot in order to give me more accurate results.

    • @funstacklabs
      @funstacklabs Год назад

      Hi Obidullah, In the video I have used Hakko Fx888D soldering station. If you're in the game for the long term, you can't go wrong with soldering stations 50W+ from Hakko or Weller. You will use them forever. If you are only after soldering occasionally and perhaps just need something for a few jobs, you can go with cheaper stick soldering irons which are harder to use. You can even go lower in the price depending on your budget but temperature retention, ease of use, built quality, safety features and products life span reduces. For solder I have used 0.7mm lead free solder (99.3% tin, 0.7% copper). I would recommend lead free solder, better for the environment, better for you. At 0.7 mm it suits finer jobs such as SMD soldering as well. For flux I have used no clean flux pen from Yosker which seems to be the cheapest available for me about 5$. I have used more pricey ones from Chemtools, with slightly better results and easier application. No clean flux pen is the easiest to use.

  • @Jnglfvr
    @Jnglfvr Год назад

    One final observation. I was thinking about the bandwidth limitation of the DMM and speculated that it might effect the calculation at higher frequencies. However looking at the formula for capacitance C = Vr/(2*pi*f*sqrt(V^2 - Vr^2)) Where Vr is resistor voltage and V is circuit voltage. We can divide numerator and denominator Vr to get C = 1/(2*pi*f*sqrt((V/Vr)^2 - 1)) We see that the capacitance depends upon voltage only as a ratio of V to Vr meaning that if the DMM has the frequency dependence of a low pass filter (which it does) then it will reduce both V and Vr in the same proportion and thus the V/Vr ratio and calculated capacitance will be unaffected by the DMM frequency defendant attenuation in amplitude. So it may very well be possible to use the DMM at higher frequencies for this application and not have to worry about it’s bandwidth. In my case the DMM I use has a useful bandwidth of about 2 k Hz corresponding to the -3dB point. Another thing I would suggest when dealing with small capacitance values is to measure the resistor voltages by at least 2 significant digits for better accuracy by using higher frequencies. Although you got good results with the 82 and 22 pF caps it makes me a little nervous to see the resistor voltage carried out to only one significant digit when being compared to the circuit voltage.

  • @Jnglfvr
    @Jnglfvr Год назад

    As a footnote to my last post here's the way to determine the output impedance of your AWG. First set the output to some arbitrary voltage (setting it in RMS value makes the math easier because your DMM measures only RMS). Then measure the open circuit voltage of the AWG. If your AWG has the option to choose Hi-z versus 50 ohm (or some other value) no problem. Just use the open circuit voltage as your reference. Then place a 1000 ohm potentiometer across the output terminals and set to 1000 ohms. While measuring the voltage across the pot decrease the resistance until the measured voltage is one half the open circuit voltage. Remove the pot and measure its resistance. That is the output impedance of your AWG. At this point one half the output voltage is being dropped across the pot and one half is being dropped across the output resistance of the AWG. In my case I have a 50 ohm output impedance so I only need to use a 100 ohm pot. The results I get are within 1 ohm of the nominal output impedance. One caveat is that, if you are using a handheld DMM to measure voltage, consider that they typically have limited bandwidth. Eg the measured voltage from my Brennen 235 falls off quite a bit beyond about 1700 Hz (sine wave) so you need to consider this when doing your measurement so as not to use too high of a frequency. An option if you need to use higher frequencies for lower value caps would be to use your scope as the output which doesn't have this limitation. As an aside it is typical for older AWGs to have output impedances of 600 ohm or so. The newer ones are typically 50 ohms. Based upon your measurement in example #1 in the video I estimated the output impedance of your AWG to be 460 ohm. It would be interesting to see it's measured result.

  • @Jnglfvr
    @Jnglfvr Год назад

    There is something wrong about your measurement at 5:16. You are measuring the RMS value of the total voltage delivered by a sinusoidal source with V peak to peak of 1 V that should give you an RMS voltage of about 1/(2*sqrt(2)) = 354 mV which is what you obtained for this on subsequent measurements. Since current (I) is Vr/R and Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C) we have for a basic formula Vc = V - Vr. So V - Vr = Xc*I V - Vr = (Vr/R)/(2*pi*f*C) or rearranging: C = Vr/(2*pi*f*R*(V - Vr)) Using 111.18 mV in the first capacitor (as measured) would give one a capacitance of 53 microF. Using a more realistic V of 354 mV would give 6.2 microF neither of which is correct.

      Thanks for the comment baby boo. You are close but the tool works a bit different or perhaps you are missing a parenthesis somewhere. I will try to type the maths happening at 5:16 behind the tool as clear as I can. I = V/R I = 79.61 / 149.92 = 0.534 mA R = V/I |Zrc| = 111.18 mV / 0.534 mA = 208.202 |Zrc| = sqrt(R*R + 1/((2*pi*f*C) * (2*pi*f*C))) 43348.0728 = 22476.0064 + (1/(2pifC) * (2pifC) ) 20872.0664 = 1 / ((2pifC) * (2pifC)) 0.00004791 = (2pifC) * (2pifC) 0.006921 = 2pifC C = 0.006921 / (2pif) = 0.000022030 F

      @@funstacklabs I see where my mistake was. It was in assuming that the voltage across the capacitor was simply the difference between the voltage across the circuit and the voltage across the resistor which it is not. Instead the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the sqrt(V^2 - Vr^2). So the correct formula is C =Vr/(2*pi*f*R*sqrt(V^2 - Vr^2)). I still don't understand how you got an RMS voltage across the circuit of 111.18 mV in example #1 (5:16) when inputting a 1 V peak to peak sine wave which should have given you 1/(2*sqrt(2)) = 353 mV.

      I think that the reason for the discrepancy in example number 1 is that you were not actually inputting 1 volt peak to peak. Your function generator was actually outputting 111.18*2*sqrt(2) = 313.5 volt peak to peak. That is the reason the calculation came out correctly. With that assumption the measured values make sense. One would then expect 111.18 volts RMS across the circuit (both resistor and capacitor).

      Think of the cap as a voltage source in the opposite direction. The effect is there with the other measurements as well though smaller since I was measuring smaller caps. If your measurements are different let me know, there might be a difference in the output impedance of the signal generator.

      @@funstacklabs Take a look at the circuit voltages (across both resistor and capacitor) you obtained in all other measurements: at 6:12 you got 342.21. At 7:16 you got 348.77. At 9:21 you got 349.46. At 10:42 you got 349.22. All of these are within the experimental error of the RMS value of a 1 volt peak to peak sine wave which is equal to 0.5/sqrt(2) = 355 mV. The only discrepancy is the first measurement of 111.18 at 5:16. What that tells me is that your actual peak to peak sine wave at 5:16 was 2*sqrt(2)*111.18 = 314.5 mV not 1 volt. That's still OK as you can measure these voltages at any signal level and get reasonably good results. Your DMM will still give you accurate results. All I'm implying is that if your signal generator is claiming 1 volt peak to peak (in the first measurement) it is not actually outputting that voltage but, instead is outputting only 314.5 mV.
