How does a vector network analyzer work?

common problems 9130

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 is IQ modulation?

    828

    In-phase quadrature modulation (IQ modulation) is the main modulation scheme used in communication applications. It is popular because of its efficient use of bandwidth, meeting the increasingly urgent need for bandwidth in a world where data volumes are growing exponentially. It is important to test with simulated IQ signals because designers are always faced with a lack of bandwidth in an interference-ridden spectrum. Example...

  • How to use the current probe

    1036

    Want to know how to use the current probe? Please first understand the following basic usage of the current probe and precautions for use. Since electricity is invisible, it is not possible to immediately determine whether a malfunction has occurred. In some cases, current measurements are required on a daily basis to prevent malfunctions, as well as to identify the cause of malfunctions when they do occur. Digital multimeters, clamp meters, and current probes can be used...

  • What is ATE System Power?

    1067

    Automated Test Equipment (ATE) system power supplies are programmable power supplies designed specifically for ATE systems. Form factor is critical. ATE power supplies with higher power densities take up less rack space, reducing the factory floor space required for test equipment. The ATE power supply is a programmable power supply designed specifically for ATE systems.
