How does an oscilloscope work?

common problems 6890

An oscilloscope uses a probe to connect to a test point in a circuit and amplify or attenuate the voltage at that point. The subsequent signal path depends on the oscilloscope, but in general, analog circuits condition the signal and analog-to-digital converters digitize it for further evaluation, processing, and analysis.

  • How does a vector network analyzer work?

    728

    A network analyzer consists of a signal source and a receiver. The receiver will detect changes in the output signal of the device (or network) and then compare it to the source signal fed into the device. To evaluate the effect of the device on current and voltage, the VNA measures the resulting amplitude and phase response. This results in transmission and reflection measurements, impedance and s-parameters, which can be used by the test engineer to...
