How does a vector network analyzer work?

February 14, 2025common problems 6380

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...

How does an oscilloscope work?
February 14, 2025 592
An oscilloscope uses a probe to connect to a test point in a circuit and amplify or attenuate the voltage at that point. The subsequent signal path depends on the oscilloscope, but in general, analog circuits condition the signal and analog-to-digital converters digitize it for further evaluation, processing, and analysis. ,

How to read the measurement results of a digital multimeter?
February 14, 2025 638
Most handheld or benchtop digital multimeters display measurements digitally. The number of digits displayed on the screen usually represents the measurement resolution of the digital multimeter. Resolution is the smallest detail that a digital multimeter can quantitatively determine when making a measurement. Therefore, the more digits a digital multimeter displays, the higher its resolution. Handheld digital multimeters are typically capable of displaying three-and-a-half and four...
