Abstract

An impedance measuring device having a signal source (10) for providing a first signal (e1) having a given frequency, a given amplitude and a given waveform; a differentiation circuit (14) which includes an unknown impedance element, for differentiating the first signal and providing a second signal (e3); and a peak voltmeter (12) for measuring the unknown impedance element whose impedance value is proportional to an amplitude of the second signal and is displayed by the peak voltmeter.
