Abstract
An automatic impedance plotter is described and demonstrated, which allows the display of instantaneous complex impedances with respect to time for fully driven microwave diodes. The drive signal, which may be pulsed or CW, has been choosen sufficiently high in frequency that the impedance display reflects effects like charge storage, leading to hysteresis and negative resistance.
