Abstract
An electrical parameter of a rod-form conductive element is measured using a measurement fixture which includes an insulating support on which a first conductive element is mounted. A transmission line connector mounted on the insulating support and has a signal conductor connected to a first conductive element mounted on the support member. A holder for removably receiving the rod-form element includes a conductive member which is in electrically conductive contact with the rod-form element when the latter is positioned in the holder. The holder is mounted relative to the support member by a mounting structure such that when the rod-form element is positioned in the holder, an end of the rod-form element can be brought into electrically conductive contact with the first conductive element. The mounting structure includes a resistor structure electrically connected between the conductive member of the holder and the ground conductor of the transmission line connector and having an electrical resistance substantially equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line connector.
