Impedance is one of the vital parameters that provides useful information for many power electronics related applications. A lot of impedance measurement methods in power electronics have been reported. However, a comprehensive investigation among these methods in terms of their characteristics, advantages, and limitations has not been found in the literature. In order to bridge this gap, a survey of the impedance measurement methods is conducted in this paper. These methods are introduced, discussed, and then classified into different categories depending on the measurement modes, principles, and instruments. Moreover, recommendations for the future research on the impedance measurement are also presented.

In-circuit impedance measurement provides useful information for many EMC applications. The inductive coupling approach is a promising in-circuit impedance measurement method due to its non-contact characteristics and simple on-site implementation. Many measurement setups of this approach were reported. However, a comprehensive survey and comparison of these setups have not been found in the literature. This paper reviews these setups in terms of their characteristics, limitations, and applications. In addition, recommendations for future research are also presented.
