How does a vector network analyzer work?

common problems 4150

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 an AC power supply?

    588

    An AC power supply is responsible for providing AC power to the load. The power input can be either AC or DC. You need an AC power supply because the power from the wall outlet does not meet the specifications of the load. In order for the load to operate properly, you need to transform the AC power supply to tune the AC power from the supply to the voltage, current, and frequency required by the device. This can be done by boosting...

  • What is a function/waveform generator?

    451

    A function generator is an electronic test device that generates a variety of standard waveforms for a device under test (DUT), such as sine, square, ramp, or sawtooth waveforms. In circuit design and circuit boards, testing often requires the use of controlled signals to simulate routine operations. Testing physical systems and sensors often requires stable and reliable signals that are as low as a few microvolts and may be as high as...

    In this article, we will describe the basic measurements of an impedance analyzer. Overview An impedance tester is an instrument used to measure AC resistance or impedance. This article will introduce the basic knowledge about impedance, the measurement method of impedance, and how to use the impedance tester. What is impedance? What is impedance? In short, it is "a quantity that indicates the difficulty of the flow of alternating current". ...
