OP Amp output Impedance - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,
I want to ask if it is correct to measure Op-Amp output impedance by measuring S22 with Network Analyzer

Thank

David-S

The answer is yes, but just be sure you do not exceed the DC voltage input level to the network analyzer.

Hi,

I agree with Brad. just wanna add, probably it's safer to use attenuator at the port 2 of network analyzer.

Regards,
Jean

The assumption made in the previous responses is that you want the closed-loop output impedance (of the entire circuit), not the intrinsic output impedance of the operational amplifier (by itself).

Is this a correct assumption?

Good Luck!
