Therefore, except for the small contribution of shunt conductance, Zi is independent of Zq. In cases where G is negligible, the measure- ment of Zi gives directly the high-frequency resistance. The method of measurement is shown schematically in Fig. 16 and an experimental set-up appears in Fig. 17.
