Yes, and nearly 40 years ago, we were getting complex impedance data 
from TEF sweeps, with a suitably high value resistor in series with the 
sweep. The method would also work with dual channel FFT. I've used the 
same technique with a Vector Network Analyzer at RF to measure the 
common mode impedance of chokes to suppress common mode current on 
antenna feedlines and to suppress RFI to/from consumer products and in 
my ham station.
