How does a vector network analyzer work?

common problems 7260

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 Keysight Trueform Waveform Generation Technology?

    747

    Trueform waveform generation is a technology unique to the Keysight 33600A and 33500B series Trueform waveform generators. Keysight Trueform technology represents another leap forward in waveform generation technology, giving you the best of both worlds: it is comparable in cost to DDS technology, but delivers predictable, low-noise waveforms that don't skip, just like PPC technology....

  • What is IQ modulation?

    630

    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...

  • What is an oscilloscope?

    753

    An oscilloscope is a test instrument used to capture and display a graph of the waveform of an electrical signal over time. For example, it can graph voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) on its display. Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic equipment. They play a very important role in determining whether system equipment components are working properly and which components are malfunctioning. They...
