Abstract :
A method for measuring small capacitance values without expensive test setups is presented. This method utilizes phase measurement with standard laboratory equipment. In the process of measuring the capacitance, the loss factor of the capacitance is also determined. This method lends itself to measuring a wide range of capacitances over a wide frequency range
