How does a vector network analyzer work?

common problems 4160

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 from which test engineers can characterize their device under test.

  • What are the different types of oscilloscopes?

    603

    All modern oscilloscopes are digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) that use digital signal processing to capture and display analog signals. If the oscilloscope has the ability to observe these signals simultaneously in the digital domain, it is a mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO). If the oscilloscope has a built-in spectrum analyzer function, it is a mixed-domain oscilloscope (MDO), although this term is less common. ,,...

  • What can a signal analyzer do?

    533

    Signal analyzers are capable of measuring the amplitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency. The Signal Analyzer combines the large dynamic range of a swept-tuned spectrum analyzer with the power of a Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) to perform in-channel measurements, such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) measurements, which require both magnitude and phase information. The VSAs are available in a wide range of sizes and sizes.

  • How do I test a DC power supply?

    421

    There are several ways to test a DC power supply, here we only introduce a few common methods. Conductivity test: You can use the multimeter's conductivity mode to accomplish this test. Touch the positive and negative terminals of the power supply with the multimeter pen. If it is on, the multimeter will beep. This test is designed to determine if the power supply is delivering power and if there are any breaks in the wiring. Voltage...
