This system is used for comprehensive electrical and electro-mechanical characterization of piezoelectric bulk ceramic samples. Large and small signal material characteristics can be evaluated over a wide temperature range. The samples current response is measured by applying an electrical voltage excitation signal using the flexible and precise virtual ground method. The samples displacement is simultaneously measured with an laser interferometer system.
