Example of how to measure 2-Port shunt impedance on your (Voltage Regulator Module) VRM.
Power plane impedance is the most common power integrity assessment, and the 2-port shunt through method is the gold standard for that assessment. Sub-milliOhm power plane impedance is necessary to maintain power rail voltages within limits during large transient current demands.
