How does a vector network analyzer work?

common problems 6410

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 main types of spectrum analyzers?

    722

    There are two main types of spectrum analyzers: sweep tuning analyzers and real-time analyzers. Modern spectrum analyzers use digital signal processing to provide more measurement capabilities, making it easier for you to interpret your measurements. Whether it's a swept-tuning analyzer or a real-time spectrum analyzer, they both display the change in amplitude with frequency. However, exactly how each analyzer handles...
