How does a vector network analyzer work?

February 14, 2025common problems 4170

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.

This article describes its basic information and how it differs from an analog multimeter. ■ Summary The condition of an electronic device needs to be determined using a measuring instrument. For electronic devices whose condition cannot be determined visually, it is recommended that measurements be made with a digital multimeter. In this section, basic information about digital multimeters such as "What is a digital multimeter" and "Is there a difference between a digital multimeter and an analog multimeter" will be explained in detail...

What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer/signal analyzer?
February 14, 2025 144
We usually use time as a frame of reference, focusing on when certain specific events will occur. This includes electrical events. Oscilloscopes allow you to view the instantaneous value of a particular electrical event (or the voltage value of some other event converted by an appropriate transducer) over time. In other words, we can use an oscilloscope to view the waveform of a signal in the time domain. Fourier theory...

How to measure frequency? Measurable Devices, Measurement Methods, and Precautions In everyday life, many people say they don't know much about the frequencies of electrical appliances. However, some electrical appliances have specific compatible frequencies, and using electricity at a frequency that is not compatible with the product may lead to malfunctions, fires, and other risks. In addition, in industrial equipment, there are electrical designed to operate at fixed or variable frequencies...

What is an oscilloscope?
February 14, 2025 432
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...
